Need Treatment Advice For Wound That Won't Heal

[Summer]

Depending on the depth of a possible foreign body, keeping the wound open with plain salt water might help your body push it out.

Here’s a study on progesterone and wound healing. It was done on menopausal rats. Clearly neither my daughter nor you are menopausal, but I got this tip from a man who’d used progesterone on himself for wound healing.

Progesterone increased fibrosis in day 3-7 (normal for healing). Then accelerated re-epithelialization days 7-14.

I’ve tried putting Health Natura progesterone right on the wound itself and not much happened.

Maybe pack it with sugar. Or Manuka honey. I think Dr Peat talked about sugar for healing wounds as well.

Role of vitamin D and calcium signaling in epidermal wound healing - PubMed

Vitamin D and calcium signaling are critical for the ability of epidermal and hair follicle stem cells to respond to wounding. Vitamin D deficiency with the accompanying decrease in calcium signaling can result in delayed and/or chronic wounds, a major cause of morbidity, loss of productivity...

I definitely don’t get enough vitamin D. Will start supplementing it again.

Thanks all
