My cat just ran over my face! ( was just lay down on my bed) I know have an nice big scratch on my nose...What the best way to get it to heal fast so I don't look bad for job interviews?

Rub it with Aloe Vera gel.

Cleanse the scratch so it doesn't get infected - infection will prolong the healing. Use polysporin ointment in it at night.
Take Vitamin C - promotes healthy skin - it's a water soluable vitamin (meaning it can be flushed out of the system fairly easily if you get too much) - about 250-500mg a day. Zinc promotes healing of the skin too - even as little as 5mg lozenge a day will help.
Keep the scratch dry during the day...once the scab is gone then you can apply Vitamin E to the red line (scar) left...that should help heal the scar.
As for your interviews...cover it up with makeup as best you can...blend it and powder your nose....; ) and good luck with them!!

Use some Polysporin cream. It's in the medicine aisle at any store. Not over the counter. Or get some Vitamin E pills and you just pop them and apply the oil to the scar. They worked for me and I'm VERY accident-prone...haha.
