Potential stupid disaster!

i got some deep scratches down my side when i was younger, i fell of a rock at the seaside during a holiday. A week later they were all gone , doc said it was due to the salt water i was swimming in every day!! . you could boil some water let it cool and add salt to bath the scratch.

Try tea tree oil for antiseptic, it also helps promote healthy skin growth, Superdrug used to do a lotion that I've used for sunburn in the past and that was good, the other thing I use is Bio Oil, it can help heal and prevent scaring.
Hope it heals soon x

Use the homeopathic cream Hypercal, can get it from boots or H & B. It is brilliant and heals really fast. I used it after childbirth, you get the idea, and the midwife couldn't believe how fast my stitches healed (sorry if too much info)!. Like someone said main thing is DON'T pick.

I wouldn't worry too much, your photographer can photoshop out the scratch so you can wear your contact lenses.

Are you having your make-up done? Really thick concealer applied well can cover anything.

And follow all the advice on here, don't pick but keep it moisturised.

But don't blame the cat, blame the OH!

along the same line of thought I use Aloe vera.

I have a plant on my kitchen window for just this kind of thing but you can buy it in gel form and Holland and Barrats etc.

Its antibiotic and promotes quicker healing of wounds. It might be worth trying.

You really shouldn't be using undiluted, unprepared Aloe vera juice. It's very strong and can have harmful effects on your cells.
