Answer 1

From what I read about it, it is a safe, natural product, although the company is a little vague about one of the main ingredients. (Unfortunately, when we do an Internet search, we come up with a synthetic fuel oil. Ha-ha on us!) Read more & buy here: http://www.auravita.com/products/aura/KEYL10798.asp?RefId=800&adid=KEYL10798

In the U.S., I've had good experience with a product called MiraCell, which contains caprylic acid and aloe and vitamin E in a vegetable oil base. Read about it here: http://www.miracell.com/
It's available at Wal-green's or most health food stores.

Answer 2

From what I'm given to understand it would more likely irritate your skin than help your scab to heal faster or to prevent/reverse the scarring. Try the Neosporin gel that is supposed to help minimize scarring if not avoid it altogether. After you've healed, if there is still any scarring use the Mederma Scar Patch. You can both of these products at Wal-Mart or Tesco for a reasonable price. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Which is it? A scab or a scar? There is a difference. A scab will heal over. A scar has alread healed over but has left a layer of skin that looks stretched. Vitamin E has been used to remove scars. Apply it daily and take it internally. It increased oxygen in the blood and on the scar.

Answer 4

I suggest palmers coco butter, or mederma, both work great, palmers is alot cheaper. I use it all the time and it smells really good too.

Answer 5

go to the closest pharmicy and ask or just get vitman E
