Most people can use aloe externally safely as it has been used for centuries as a treatment for wounds, burns, and other skin disorders. Some people might experience itchiness, redness, or other kinds of irritation. The irritation might be related to normal sensitivity of the skin or it might be an allergy. These effects can develop or become worse with continued use.

Other known hazards of long term use or aloe gel are changes in heart rhythm, kidney damage, oedema, and electrolyte loss.

There are other damaging effects of using aloe internally, but damage of any kind is rare.

If you experience itchiness when you use aloe, you unfortunately have a sensitivity or allergy and you shouldn't use it.

Yes, aloe vera does help your cuts heal faster. much faster! It works much better than neosporin. If you have access to an actual aloe vera plant that is much better because it is pure aloe vera. but if you do buy it at a store, look for some that isn't diluted by many other ingredients. You should apply a generous amount to your cut several times a day, and you should see it healing up quite nicely in as little as one or two days.

Aloe Vera can be applied directly to a cleaned scratch to help it heal faster. You may also use an aloe cream or gel.
