A visit to your doctor would be in order. We can't examine the wound. In
addition, other conditions, like diabetes, which affects wound healing, come
to mind.
Let your doctor who can examine you, get your medical history and order the
appropriate tests help you.

Vitamin C. 1000 mgs. Take anywhere from 2 to 5 or more, 3 or 4 times a
day. If you get the runs or stomach upset, you've taken too much, cut
back a bit.
Get tested for diabetes, now! If you show up as insulin resistant or
diabetic, get a copy of Dr Bernsteins Diabetes Solution book and read
it from cover to cover.

Sure, of course... she'll have several expensive prescription salves
for you to chose from. She'll take care of the symptom for sure. By all
means go.

Considering that we can't see her wound, feel her pulse, get her medical
history, do lab tests or otherwise examine her over the internet, she is
much better off going to a doctor than listening to some guy on the internet
who tells her to take vitamin C.

Today's doctors aren't exactly curing the world of diseases, now, are
they? Diabetes and heart disease are increasing rapidly while they
"treat" us to the tune of billions in prescriptions and treatments per
year and we seem to be getting sicker.
People are dying of diabetes-related complications on the American
Diabetes Association diet. Their website clearly states that they do
not know what precisely causes diabetes, but they are more than
prepared to presume to treat you with blood glucose test kits, drugs
and a high carb diet while you get sicker and sicker.
Doctors have less than a couple of months worth of training in
nutrition, if they have that much. Doctors are primarily trained to
prescribe drugs and treatments, not to actually seek to resolve health
problems.
I figure you stand at least an equal (or possibly better) chance of
resolving medical issues listening to this guy on the internet who
tells her to take vitamins C as you do seeing a modern day medical
doctor. Kinda sad, really.

Balanced amino acids and Vit C.
Focus on the Growth Hormone releasing aminos more, like arginine and
ornithine. Don't let people fool you with protein. It is not the same thing
at all. Get the "free form amino acids"

Exactly. You are the [censored] on the Internet telling her to go to a doctor.

Please provide a better alternative, other than people eating less and
getting less excercise.
The reality of the matter is that people are making themselves sick.

Can you provide evidence of this? I mean that they are actually following
the diet.

We do know what causes most cases of diabetes: eating too much and not
getting enough excercise, for most cases.
I did not know that blood glucose test kits are used to treat people. I
thought they were so that you can montior your own treatments. And most docs
don't recommend a high carb diet for diabetes.
The fact of the matter is that most people who are diabetic (type ii) are
too fat, don't excercise and don't follow their diets.I

Actually, doctors do try to resolve health problems. They recommend healthy
diets, and their treatments do work. Their treatments are not perfect.

Do you have a better idea? We can't examine her, we don't know her medical

diabetes.
A doctor is the best bet.

"Can someone recommend something I can take to help it heal

..
I'm not a physician so I can't dispense medical advise *BUT* I can tell
you that years ago the sap from the balsam tree was used to heal
wounds. It sometimes healed them too well as deeper wounds would heal
over and not be able to drain.
The sap was marketed as "Canada Balsam"
Take you rown advice and don't give advice on the Internet.
Don't tell me you can't see the irony in that.
Sorry about the name calling. Just getting your attention

I remember reading about grape seed extract having healing properties
in this context, if you're just looking to try different "herbal" kinds
of things for the hell of it. Sounds like it might be a sign of
something more serious, as someone mentioned above.

Everybody is just guessing here which is why it is more accurate to wait for
the autopsy for a definitive diagnosis.
