Fan Q: "Hi Dr. Carly! I have a question for you and your page. My daughter falls and scrapes her knee constantly. Before it has time to heal, she scrapes it again i am wondering what I can apply to it to speed healing, ease discomfort and avoid infection? A: The joys of toddlerhood and the bumps and bruises that come with it! always start with cleaning the scrap right away with warm water and soap. Then I use Traumeel cream right away for any falls or bruises to speed healing and minimize the effects of the fall. Traumeel can sting on open wounds so save it more for the bumps and bruises. On open wounds or nasty scrapes, a calendula based cream will help speed healing and reduce the redness and inflammation. For particularly large wounds I would disinfect with peroxide first to discourage infection and then apply the calendula cream. You can apply the Traumeel and calendula as often as you would like in a day.
