Foot Injury
My right foot got badly injured 1.5 months ago when it got rolled over by a car tyre. This resulted in a 3rd degree abrasion. Its healing now and the layers of skin are beginning to form (Pic attached). I was advjsed to apply moisturizing cream on the affected area. However, since there is a swelling I'm unable to wear a shoe/slipper. Is there an ointment which aids in faster skin generation? The area is a bit sensitive and it hurts a bit while I try to partially insert my slipper.

Looks like it is healing well. Keep the area clean and dry. Skin sensitivity will go away gradually. Visit your nearby mochi and get your slipper customised or buy a bigger size slipper for now.
There is no cream or ointment to make skin regeneration faster
