Q: Nutrition Reason For Scars?

asked by: lisakatha on March 8th, 2007

Hi.
I get scars very easily, slight wounds or scratches turn into scars when they heal and I was wondering why. I have been a vegetarian for 8 years and only started to eat white meat a few months ago. Could it have something to do with my nutrition, could it be a lack of something?I've always scared easily, at least as long as i remember..
Thanks for your help,
lisakatha

you would want to avoid scratching the wounds when they heal. wait until they fall on its own so there wouldn't be scars. i would apply some aloe gel on it so it heals faster and less itching.
