Is there anything that makes wounds heal quick?


i got really bad blisters that all opened while walking a distance wearing brand new flip-flops with vinyl straps, yeah wasnt my choice but my mom made me get out of the car and walk home which was far enough.

they really hurt and so i was wondering if there is anything i can do or put on my feet to make them heal quicker?

since its so bad that i can see from the wounds where the straps were. . . .
yeah its kinda sick but anyways...
any help?

1. First thing is to avoid putting any further pressure or shearing on the areas that are blistered.

2. AVOID using antibacterial lotions, soaps, ointments or washes. These are shown to slow healing as they are toxic to healing tissue and actually kill off all the nice new little cells that are trying to grow. (that stinging feeling not good!)

3. Wash very well with clean warm boiled water (cold water sows healing as tissue will only heal at body temperature - each time you cool a wound you have to wait for it to come back to body temp to restart the healing process)

4. Wounds heal 40% faster when they are kept moist. You can buy special blister dressings at the pharmacy that stay on for up to 7 days. When you remove these the areas are generally 99% healed with new skin. These are semi occlusive (they allow the wound to breathe a tiny bit) but are waterproof. They look like a cloudy coloured thick white or yellowish pad that is like a thick saran wrap. They protect the wound from further trauma, they keep the wound moist, keep it warm and lock out bacteria.

5. The area under the dressing will often look a but mukky - they get a bubble of exudate (fluid) under but this fluid has healing properties and will help to kill off any bacteria and eat up and old dead cells/skin from the blister. You do not have to remove this dressing unless this fluid leaks out or if it has been on for a week.

6. Antibiotic Ointment or Powder or Neosporin WILL NOT cause faster wound healing. The use of topical antibiotics is not recommended in most wounds and will not prevent deep infection in the wound. It can cause sensitivities and allergies to occur.

7. The signs and symptoms of infection are:
redness spreading, odour from the wounds that is really yukky, swelling, increase in pain, nasty stuff coming from the wound (not just a bit of fluid under the dressing), heat and generally feeling unwell. Watch out for these signs.

8. Dont let the wound dry out and form a scab - this causes much longer wound healing.

neosporin.

Neosporin might help. You can get it at any drug store.

go by and alavera plant. they work wonders believe me. Do not buy the stuff in a bottle. You want fresh stuff. Cut a piece from the plant, and squeeze the alo verra onto your wound and it will heal much faster.... honestly, I have used it for years..

try antibiotic ointment when you go to bed with CLEAN socks on.

clean your wounds real well and then put some antibiotic ointment on them during the day or whenever you are out and about...at night clean them and allow them to be exposed to air while you sleep, so they can dry out a bit...also increase your intake of vitamin C (such as drink orange juice) which will help to increase wound healing.

First, you need to start with cleaning the wounds with an antibacterial soap. Dry the area with a clean, non-fibrous towel such as a paper towel. Next put some neosporin on the affected area for one day. This will kill any infection. On day two and so on, use aloevera juice from a real alovera plant. All you do is buy an aloe plant snap off the end of the plant and use that juice to place on your wound. The plant will regenerate from where it was broken, so you should be able to use the plant for a long time to come.
