Pure Vitamin E oil works wonders on raw flesh. It promotes rapid growth of
new skin which does not form a scab if you keep the raw flesh wet with the
oil.
I have not used it for infections and don't think it would help until the
infection is gone.
Wet the wound with the oil and wet a bandaid with more oil. Keep it wet all
the time.
Nothing but pure oil from a capsule or buy a small bottle (6 3/4 oz for
about $8) of pure oil.
