3. Apply aloe vera gel to the wound is a way to heal the wound and reduce the appearance of the scar.
Pure aloe is the best option, but the gel will work just as well. Apply a thin layer to the wound and rub it gently into the skin in a circular motion. Let it stay on the wound for 30 minutes before washing it off with cool water. This can be done twice a day.
The more times you apply the aloe vera gel, you will start to notice a difference in the appearance of the wound. After you apply the aloe vera gel, place a dressing over it to allow the skin to warm up. The skin needs to be warm when it comes to healing a wound. Since you will be doing this twice a day, place the dressing on the wound after the second time you use aloe vera.
