Hello,

Although Cocoa butter and Bio oil are best remedies for smooth healing of post traumatic scar, following measures can speed the recovery:
- Cleansing the part with fruit face wash
- Gentle sponging with avoidance of harsh rubbing
- Avoid prolong exposure to sun rays if necessary, use sun screen lotion of above 50 F unit strength
- Local application of aloe vera gel and lavender oil on alternate day basis 4 times a day each
- Consume more liquids and balanced nutritious diet for best results
- Avoid smoking if consuming

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
