    Slow Wound Healing
    I have a tendency to heal very slowly after receiving a wound (cut, scrapes, etc). This isn't usually much of a problem unless the wound is in an exposed area. Currently I have a 1/2 inch in diameter abrasion on my palm that has taken several layers of skin off. The wound is healing but very slowly (its been about 2 months now). Is there any medication that might speed the healing process?

    Re: Slow Wound Healing
    Have you tried applying an antibiotic cream such as neosporin or bacitracin? Something else to try is bag balm. When I got a tattoo a few years ago the guy gave me a little container of it to help the "wound" heal.
