I need medical help
This is way off topic, but I'm alone today (except for you guys!) due to a bad fall I took last night.
Bringing my husky out to her kennel in the dark last night, I tripped over the garden hose and went face first into a concrete block. The corner of the block hit me square on the nose between my eyes. The rest of my face is pretty scraped up and bruised too, but that will heal. The dent between my eyes wasn't worth stitches because it's not a straight cut, but I bled a lot last night and have bacitracin on it now. I look like I've been beaten up.
Does anyone know how to make this heal superfast and not leave a scar? I have so many things coming up and soon. Like the tea party, my daughter's college graduation, homeschool geography fair, on and on. I need this gone fast......
Home alone on Easter too, I didn't want to be seen like this.
I have been following:
and reading this thread as it goes along. I have nothing to add, but am learning some things.
Injuries can be life changing. I have had my nose broken seven times, stabbed once, shot once, right foot crushed, left leg cut off 20 years ago, ache like you would not believe every morning and usually all day long, but still have a smile on my face because I know I am still good for the fight.
I hope you are doing better today.

Try EFT - it's free
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) apparently can reduce swelling and bruising very quickly. It does involve tapping on your face, which, in your case, I might change to touching lightly!
You can find instructional video on YouTube (I like the ones from Tapping.com). Also, the free downloadable manual and newsletter archives at Emofree.com.
There are testimonials to spontaneous reductions in swelling. You can use it on everything from headaches to PTSD.
I know from personal experience that falling has an underlying emotional component: shock, embarrassment, self-blame. Adults can be hard on themselves in addition to being further from the ground.
Besides, with a name like Emotional Freedom, how can it not work?

I'll try it, I'll try anything! Had an xray today, waiting to hear if I fractured my nose. BTW, the wound is square on my 6th chakra, 3rd eye. Wondering what the message is........

Dr. Paul Connection
I learned about Dr. Mercola via a posting here on DP. Dr. Mercola is a huge supporter of Dr. Paul and of EFT.
I wonder what that means!

I am just overwhelmed
Thank you so much everyone for all your prayers and suggestions and stories. Woke up today and my eyes were almost shut due to the swelling, which was not there yesterday, so I am seeing my doctor today.
After that, I'll try the suggested products and regiments.
Thanks again, love you all!

Blessed be your body and soul my friend*)

I wish I was there to prevent your fall....like angels do....

Comfrey, vitamin E
Comfrey is extremely effective at causing new skin cells to grow. I was in pain for two weeks after childbirth due to some small tears. Then my doctor recommended comfrey and, miraculously it seemed, I was better the next day.
Comfrey's nickname is "boneset:" it's reputed to be able to mend broken bones. Plus an old herbalist discovered that if you boil two pieces of flesh in a pot of comfrey tea, the flesh will fuse together.
If I were you I would get some comfrey root from the health store, make a strong tea with one heaping tablesoon of comfrey to one cup boiling water, steeped for at least 15 minutes. Then saturate a little gauze pad with the tea and keep in on your wound. Or you could buy comfrey ointment, but make sure you use a sterile Q-tip to dip into the comfrey.
After it's healed, Vitamin E, as everyone here is saying. Best wishes for a fast, scar-free recovery!
As far as MIRACLE REMEDIES go...
You might be interested in taking a look at these:

The Alkalizing Beauty Blend called Re-vita-phi is wonderful and the colloidal gold has been known to work miracles!
Pure organic MSM (Methyl-sulfonyl-methane) is also good. It is a naturally-occurring form of the mineral sulfur. It is primarily used for building and repairing connective tissue, maintaining healthy joints, increasing flexibility, hastening athletic recovery, and promoting beauty of the skin, hair and nails. It can be applied topically. If you like, I can mail some to you.

BF and C
First, I wanted to say I'm really sorry about your fall. I took a really bad spill about 3 months ago, and, while I didn't hurt my face, I hurt every other part of my body and actually ended up jamming my joints inward, there is a technical term my chiropractor used of which I cannot remember. While my chiropractor saved my hide from this nefarious accident, yours is of a different type. I have used herbs for many, many years, and our entire extended family swears by B F and C by Dr. Christopher. Order it, I get zippo in monetary gain, I only recommend this product because it has been a lifesaver for so many people. BF and C stands for bones, flesh and cartilage. In fact, I recommend it for everybody, as well as cayenne tincture, which can save you from a heart attack, emergency situations, etc. and it saved my life. Also, with MRSA being airborne and all over, it is really a great idea to stock up on this wonderful silver solution that I got when my son had MRSA last year. http://www.automaticbuilder.com/12289/silver Thank God I had it. It was great stuff and worked very well in conjunction with the antibiotics. Again, I get nothing for recommending any of this and my only motive is to help you so that you can go around with a healed up face.
Anyway, regarding my first recommend, I saw before my own eyes, the BF and C work on serious burns overnight to leave only a dime sized spot, from a palm sized spot. (On second and third degree burns) Overnight! I could hardly believe it and had to keep looking, and then became a total believer in B, F and C. The website is here: http://www.drchristophersherbshop.com/ and everybody should check it out! Dr. Christopher was a beloved man and a real inspiration! Good Luck and God Bless!

Can't find B F and C
on the site.........Is there another name?

Unfortunately, all of these
Unfortunately, all of these suggestions will only help in marginal terms. You're going to have to wait it out and let your body heal naturally.
Of course, you could always go to any teen-oriented fashion store and grab yourself a pair of those oversized novelty sunglasses that are so hip with girls nowadays.
After open-heart surgery,
which leaves a LARGE scar (commonly called "the zipper"), some hospitals advise breaking Vitamin E capsules, and rubbing the Vitamin E directly on the incision.
It promotes healing, and reduces the scarring.
The capsules provided by the hospital, especially for this purpose, are large ( approximately 1 inch in length and 1/2 inch in diameter ), but regular Vitamin E capsules meant to be ingested can be broken ... punctured ... and used the same way.
First-hand info.
Good luck and wishing a speedy recovery.
Aloe vera juice
Either squeeze it out of a live plant cutting, or get a refrigerated bottle of 100% aloe vera at the health food store. It will keep a long time in the frig. I use aloe vera every day, along with vit. E moisurizer on my face, and I have no lines (I am pushing 50), even with 20+ years of excessive suntanning...aloe has prevented scars all over my face (I had BAD acne as a kid, and used it back then) and knees (an athletic train wreck, I was always scraped and dinged). ANY kind of moisurizer with DEAD SEA minerals is the BOMB.
Joni! Thanks....
Sorry I haven't been in touch... it's just one friggin thing after another here, and now this too. Hope you are well and financial situation is improving. Waiting for dance lessons............

Don't worry much
Faces heal fasst. Ten days ago (on a Thursday) I got in a bicycle accident that ended with my face taking an impact on the pavement at about 20mph. Lots of scraps, lots of blood, lots of scabs. I also had a 1.5 inch cut on my chin all the way down to the bone. Internal stiches plus 8 external.
In 5 days, my stitches were out and most of the minor scraps were healed. In 7 days, most of my scabs had fallen off to show decent skin. I assume that most of the other scabs were held on by facial hair (I'm male,) but it wasn't worth finding out. Today (10 days), all scabs are gone, and I only have a hairline scar.
Now I'm concentrating on regular Vitamin E lotion and moisturiser to help with the scaring. I brought our humidifier back out to help keep my skin moist. I'm also praying that I regain some lost feeling in my chin.
You should heal fast. on the other hand, minor scraps to my knees haven't healed (I've had worse playing bball on blacktop). Also major scraps to my knuckles and hands are taking two or three times longer to heal.
That's funny you should say that
Back in early February I got a good sized dent in my knee. Up in the middle of the night for the bathroom, slipped on my son's laminated puzzle on the floor and landed smack into the corner of the bed frame. The scabs are gone, but the dent is still there and looks fresh........hoping the face takes much shorter to heal.

In full disclosure:
I should mention that I do heal a bit fast, but not miracle fast by any means.
What amazed me the most most was that the scabs peeled away to reveal pretty normal skin. The road rash on my hand is just starting to peel away, and it is revealing a red, scaly, stretched, ugly 'preskin.' The new skin on my face only varies slightly in color from the normal skin. It could easily be made-up if I was a lady.
Real Willard Water
works great on burns. haven't tried it on cuts. But from my personal experience burns don't hurt and heal without scarring when this water is used.
Some health food stores carry it or it can be bought online.

I wish I had known that 7 months ago
My 5 yr old son got a 2nd degree burn on his leg when his grammie knocked over the curling iron. Weeks and weeks of changing bandages and silver cream and antibiotic cream...........He still has a bad scar. Poor baby....

I've heard that tumeric mixed in vitamin E
-heals really well, but I've never tried it... I think you can get band-aids in India with tumeric already in the gauze part...
turmeric and Myrhh is what you want.

Juice Feast/Fast
Try a fruit -vegetable juice fast. A week
or so of that should really assist in the
healing process.
