If you are not already doing so, take 250mg to 500mg of Vitamin C every 6 hours or so, more if you smoke. Also take up to 400 IU of Vitamin E, natural if possible. Get a bottle of 100 IUs and increase by 100 every 3 or 4 days. Can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure if you start high immediately. Both C and E are essential for wound healing.
The ugly Keloid scars that black people often get are due to a Vitamin E deficiency, so if you have any black troops in with you tell them about this. Also, once the skin has formed you can spread E directly on the skin to improve healing. Also good for aging skin. ;-) I am 72. My son is doing his 20 in Special Forces. Thank you for your service, and Merry Christmas!!
Thank your son for me.
Thank your son for me.
Hey Gramma who is near to my age. We seem to have some things in common. My hubby is also Korean Vet. Marine. I would have given the same advice for the burns. I hold to natural cures in everything possible. I am 77 and healthy and still holding a full-time job. I take vitamins and herbs after doing the research on them. Vit C & E are essential to good health. Throw in D3 and you’re pretty well protected from nasty bugs. (I enjoyed meeting you via your profile page. Wish more people would create them).
