Field of Dreams I just sent you a PM - it is something we have used for over 35 years on things from nasty wire cuts to other stuff that normally would have left an ugly scar.... and it's cheap and easy. I forgot, use it two times a day- or three if it really needs it to start the first week.
We have had Corona and other products leave nasty scars. Fura ointments, neosporin and all those other things are ok for bacterial problems but have nothing in them to prevent scarring.
Here is what we use- get a jar of plain Vaseline. Put some of it in a jar like a baby food jar. Get some Farnams Wonder Dust from your tack shop. Mix as much dust as you can into the vaseline to make it a paste ointment instead of dry. You will need to mix a bit at a time until it's pretty thick- I just use my finger to mush it all together.
We apply this twice a day, and I wish I had photos of the results over the years with various wounds. The vaseline keeps the skin moist and acts as a base for the paste. Wonder Dust is made specifically to STOP any proud flesh and scarring. If a wound is fresh and oozy- we use it as the straight powder and it helps to stop infection as well. Once an icky wound has a dry scab, we use it with the vaseline until it is all healed.
It WILL let the hair grow back in, it also helps stop the white hair that you see grow in on so many scars, etc.. and we have had fantastic results with this. I have tried other things on the market as new things come out over the years and we are NEVER without this in our tack room!!!!
The only other thing we use is Cut Heal, but that is for deep muscle wounds and cannot be used on face, legs or other 'bonier' parts of the horse.
I am telling you guys, this stuff is cheap and it WORKS!!
