Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from lacerated wound over shin . YOU should get it stitched after thoroughly clean it because otherwise bone may become exposed.You should also take antibiotics to prevent infection and analgesic for pain. Vitamin Be complex and C will be helpful in healing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.
