    Smoking and alcohol cause slow healing.
    Also vitamin and mineral deficiencies will slow healing.
    Especially vitamin B and C and I think zinc.

    Try either spraying on or splashing on 91% isopropyl alcohol on the sores. My bug bite sores go away within a short period using this. You can buy the 91% at WalMart for about $2 a small bottle. This remedy also is good for any sore. Depending on the stage of healing the alcohol may sting a little but only for 5 seconds.
