Would humans benefit from licking their wounds like animals do?

Question:

In my work I get lots of cuts and scratches. As an experiment I began to lick my wounds the way a cat would. It sure SEEMS like it helps. Does anyone know more about this?

Answers:
I am not sure, but one day I was so frustrated because every time I would feed my infant son he would get a rash around his checks. that would last a few hours. A lady from Indonesia told me that next time I fed him I should lick his face like a cat. I did it and the rash was gone in minutes. I did it 2 times, and that was the end of the rash. MEOW!!

ewwwwww!! thats just plain ol' nasty. what next? you gonna eat your own poop?
