Dog bite scar and healing

[Catrin]

It is getting close to two months since the dog bite. It is healed, all except for the top couple of skin layers. I think it is healed, then I forget and scratch it and the skin comes off. No blood or anything, it isn't that deep, and it is just over a portion of the scar, not the entire thing.

Any suggestions on what I might use that would allow it to finish healing? The budget is tight, very much so... I don't think this warrents a doctor's office visit. Basically it just looks dry until I scratch it, and I do put lotion on it.

Have others had this problem? I know it was a pretty deep wound, but everything beneath the skin has healed, and most of the skin. I figure the longer this take the worse the final scar will be...

Mederma. Get a tube at drugstore or grocery - whererever you buy that kind of stuff. Costs maybe $12-15? I don't remember. Put a little bit on the scar 2x day for a couple months. The scar will probably fade before you use it all up. I used this on my shoulder surgery scar and you have to be really looking for it to find the scar - and I know where it is - and still have trouble finding it.

Mederma doesn't promote healing, it's a bleaching agent based on onion extract, to be used when a wound is completely healed ... and it contains paraben preservatives. Raw honey will help the healing, or vitamin E if you're not sensitive to the carrier oils. Make sure you're getting plenty of.protein, and gently massaging the area. Deep wounds will take some time.

I thought that perhaps it was too early for Mederma. I think I should be getting enough protein, but will start massaging the area and pick up some honey or vitamin E, thanks!

you can also get a slave called everything balm from goodiesunlimited.com which is an all natural compilation of vit e, jojoba, rosemar, lavendar, calendula, eucalyptus, tea tree oil and probably more that that I am not remembering. It is excellent for scaring, healing, post ride soreness, dry skin, eczema and sunburn. Been using it for years and swear by it. Last time I bought it, a small pot was 8.00 but it goes a long way.
