How long will it take for a quite deep wound to heal?

Question

Hi guys, Yesterday, I just fell off from my bike and from human reaction, I stop with my palm (area is gravel). So currently, my palm is suffering a quite deep wound. I have wash with saline water and bandage it... point to point, I will put antiseptic cream. So any idea how can I get it to heal faster? And how long will it take? And by taking vitamins will it help?

And what advice will you give as i am racing in 2 more days.

Answer 1

well you should use polysporin but i can't tell you how long it will take maybe a few days a week just take a easy for a few day before your race btw good luck =]

Answer 2

happened to me before too, dont forget to redress the injury a couple times a day so that the gauze wrap doesnt get inside of the cut and make sure that you keep it clean. Put some neosporin on it too. Mine was pretty deep and took about 2 weeks to be completely gone and pain free

Answer 3

i dont know if vitiams will help but what i do know is that you can go 2 pathmark and buy hydrogen peroxide solution nd it will help it not 2 get infected its anti infective it might take mayb 2-3  weeks or 3-4

Answer 4

just keep it clean and dry, let your wound breath, continuously apply the cream after cleaning it.

it will be dry and a bit healed for 2days but not actually healed from deep down

Answer 5

It all depends on your life style, general health and knowledge.

A good quality multi-vitamin will help, another thing is to avoid putting bandages directly on the wound by using a cloth donut around it and then wrap with gauze.

I've been using a process that accelerates healing for years with tons of practice the best I could do was to grow skin over a hole 3/4 inch wide 1 1/2 long down the the muscle in the middle was 5 days. So your two day limit is not going to happen.
