Yes and no. In order for a cut to heal fast and with minimal scarring, a certain amount of moisture is needed (the the wound bed itself). If the cut is not covered there is more of a chance of pulling that can lead to pain and scarring. When using a cover, such as a band-aid, moisture will be locked in and the cut may heal bit faster. However, moist environments are a breeding ground for bacteria. Moisture can also lead to the healthy skin becoming soft, swollen, and wrinkled (like when you stay in a bath too long). This is called hyperhydration or maceration. Although maceration usually clears up after exposure to air, it can lead to increased sensitivity, infection, and in extreme cases more injury (since this skin is more susceptible to injury from rubbing or friction.
That is why, I would recommend keeping a wound covered when their is potential exposure to dirt, etc. But keeping it uncovered or lightly covered at other times. It is also important to replace wet bandages and dry the area thoroughly before recovering.
By putting lots of neosporin on the cuts
It heals faster when you leave it alone. The air helps to heal it and it can work faster when its not so moist.The American College of Emergency Physicians now recommends that you keep the scrape covered and moist, to encourage new cell growth and a speedy recovery.
Yeah pretty much. Oranges have a lot of vitamin C in them to help heal cuts faster too.
cocoa beans heal mostly the small cuts
Wound heal faster with bandaids
Yes. Small cuts and scrapes will heal faster when swimming in chlorinated water. The chlorine will kill unwanted bacteria in the wound.

Band Aids aid you in healing and protect you, they keep cuts from bleeding constantly, which helps form a scab (will heal faster).... Also it helps (doesn't prevent) cuts, scrapes, etc. from getting infected
There are many ways you can try and heal a injury faster. But really the only thing that you can do is give it time to heal.
It won't heal them. It can help them clot to stop bleeding, and can offer a little relief from the pain, but it won't heal them.
Apply gauze, if it is deep get butterfly strips to hold it together, if it is major go see a m.d. Holding it shut will stop bleeding, and it will heal, to hide the scar, once it is sealed, immediately buy lotion for fading scars.
It doesn't heal, it disinfects.
