Another old-timer (country boy) remedy passed down from my elders is the use of Zinc Oxide Ointment on wounds, Especially for infections. We would cleanse a wound in your favorite manner (even infected ones), apply the ointment, and bandage. Usually within 1-2 days the wound would be well on the road to healing.

As kids, we were constantly being ripped up, and proactive use of Zinc Oxide attested to a fairly healthy life. Wifey (city girl, medically trained) never heard of zinc oxide before meeting me, and was amazed at the results. works on baby-butts too...
