What is an effective way to heal scratches from cats?!
Question: Hi everyone. My family and I currently own 9 cats and love them all very much. The only thing is,`we are always getting scratched by one of the cats somewhere on our body whether it be our stomachs or arms. We always put Neosporin on the scratches right after getting hurt but they seem to heal very poorly with me. I'm of Indian descent and I used to have Eczema on my hands when I was 16 years old but no longer have this problem. I also feel like I have dry skin all the time even though I feel I drink enough water throughout the day. I do not drink much milk however but I try to get yogurt in every now and then. I'm wondering if my lack of healing is due to a diet problem or perhaps something else or maybe it is normal. I seem to always get scars from these scratches and it takes ages for them to clear up.
Anyone know why these scratches don't heal that quickly with me? Anyone know of some remedies or any products that will help with the scarring and make the scratches heal faster?

Aloe vera, the plant sap, break a leaf and rub it on or buy some cream. There may be permanent scarring so maybe wear gloves when playing with kitty and long sleeves. You can also buy some types of creams that will fade your scars in the beauty section of your department store.
