A natural treatment for abrasions: Skip the high cost creams and ointments and rub the cut side of half an onion on your abrasions. Not only will this take the sting away, the skin will heal very quickly. In Italy my husband slid down the side of a large rock causing a huge abrasion on his arm. It looked really bad. He went into a little restaurant to wash it off. Instead of being directed to the bathroom, the Italian woman cooking took out a knife sliced a white onion in half and started rubbing it on his arm. We thought she was crazy but to our amazement his abrasion was gone the next day.
