Can I put aloe vera in an open wound?

you can put peanut butter on it if you want to,
but it probably won't be a good idea.

Yes- it's safe

NO, it is not an antiseptic and will stop the wound from healing.

1) wash well / disinfect
2) put 100% (real 100%, not a bit of natural this + natural that) aloe vera gel on it
3) cover with a plaster
repeat 2 or 3 days, should repair faster, than with nothing.

No, it would hinder cell growth of the cells trying to heal the wound, it’s foreign material to the exposed parts of the wound.
