Yes. It is used as a gel.
Aloe seems to be able to speed wound healing by improving blood circulation through the area and preventing cell death around a wound.
It also appears that aloe gel has properties that are harmful to certain types of bacteria and fungi.

It can. It depends on your skin type. Anatomically, everyone is different. I've seen it work quite well and not so well other times. For the most part it does work. It's compound and gentle nature and nurture of your dermis is what allows it to heal the outer layer of your skin. Vitamin E is what most people refer to in scar healing. Cocoa butter is another over the counter remedy for this as well.
