Hi, maybe,maybe not the right forum.....anyway, looking for suggetions on how to heal my cut. I went under the knife Jan 27th. Everything seems fine with incision. Im on the next step with the healing, so far the DR suggested to just use a hot compress to reduce the swelling and he says to make the cut shrink to the level of the skin. I wouldnt expect him to offer up much more than that. Like for instance applying a comfrey salve or something to the area. My question is when should I start to do somehting like that? It would seemt that my cut would need to heal from the inside out and I woulndt want to do anything to mess with that, unless its fine to do so. thanks for any suggetions.
