Is there like a special ointment for it or should I get more of a specific kind of vitamin or mineral to make scrapes and cuts heal faster?

Use tea tree oil on the cuts and scrapes to help them heal almost overnight with no signs of scarring and infection.

Keep the area clean and moisten with Triple Antibiotic Ointment a few times a day. It should feel moist but additional ointment does not help. Keeping it covered during the day will keep the pain down and keep the sun off of it. Sun exposure can encourage a color change.
Deep wounds should be evaluated by a doctor. The above is for minor wounds.

Neosporin and polysporin (generic) are the same antibiotic ointment and work well. There are also bandaids impregnated with antibiotic ointment, so you can get 2 for 1. Either way, cover the cut or scrape with a bandaid.

After cleaning the cut or scrape, apply a thin coat of Neosporin (can be picked up at your local pharmacy over the counter), then cover with a bandage. It will improve healing time and will reduce the chance of a scar.

Neosporin is great stuff for scrapes and minor cuts.

Your body heals from the inside out. So help your body. Vit. C is actually used in replacing new cells.
