What salt does is absorb the water from wounds and pimples, which keeps bacteria from growing.
It's a bit painful, and is good for keeping a cut from getting infected, but it doesn't usually speed healing time. And I definitely would not put it on anything larger than a cut. Hydrogen peroxide is easier to work with on larger wounds and does the same thing.

Why do you think that injuries to the skin generally heal faster than injuries to the brain?
injuries to the skin heal faster than injuries in the brain because of cell division. When your skin cuts it heals faster then when something happens to your brain because your skin cells wear out quickly, so they need to be replaced often. That's why it is faster to heal than injuries to the brain :)
