We love the silver wound healing gel. My son was cut across his check by barbed wire a few years ago and he uses the silver gel every night with some castor oil to keep the scar hydrated. It has healed well, no patchy spots or deep red coloring. Along with the healing properties of the silver, another benefit is that there is no odor. Other healing oils or gels were simply too smelly to put right by his nose all day and night.
