Suggest Treatment For Black Eye Along With Abrasions On Face

Posted on Mon, 12 May 2014

Question: Hi, I have recently met with a bike accident that has resulted in a black eye along with abrasions on my face. Though the wound(s) are not deep, I am sure that they would leave a sufficient amount of scar when they heal. Since this in in my face, I would like to know if there is any serum/cream/patch that I can apply over my wounds to minimize scar formation in my face?

Brief Answer: Apply aloe vera and vitamin E Detailed Answer: Hello The injury is not very deep hence it should heal well. You should apply a combination of Vitamin C, aloe vera and Vitamin E. This will help in faster healing. Once scar is formed,you can use silicon gel to heal it. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
