My experience with road burn was a lesson in patience...keep it clean, give it air, and be patient. And eat well and stay hydrated.

If you want to try something holistic to ease the allergic reaction, you might want to try Ester-C. It's a buffered vitamin C you can take in a higher dose without affecting your stomach, and it does a darn good job in warding off my respiratory allergic reactions, so it might help with your healing. It can't hurt....you can get it at any pharmacy.

Good luck!
