hello
thank you for asking the question.
you want to know about vitamin E. it is fat soluble vitamin. Major function of vitamin E is anti-oxidant. it removes free radicals from body and as per your question it also helps in healing by stimulating collagen maturation.
you can definitely take vitamin E for few days for faster healing. Avoid prolong use of vitamin E because it is stored in body and prolong use leads to toxicity.
hope this will helpful to you.
