It doesn't. It can reduce pain and local inflammation but your wound won't actually heal any faster. In fact, it'll make it take longer to heal as that inflammation is caused by an influx of cells that will do many beneficial and productive things such as killing any bacteria that may have entered the wound, digesting dead cells and making new blood vessels to restore nutrients to the area.

In Ireland and the UK, we have Bobby or Peeler to mean a Policeman. They originate from the same thing, an Prime Minister, Sir Robert (Bobby) Peel (Peeler) who set up the first modern police force in the UK, about 200 years ago.
