Road rash - treating and minimizing scars

[OakLeaf]

Ow ow ow.

I've been having really great results dressing wounds with raw honey covered with Tegaderm. You can tape down the edges if necessary.

Back in the day we used to use Second Skin - if the LBS doesn't have it, it's in the drugstore with burn dressings.

Rest, don't skimp on the pain meds, and heal. Pain is exhausting even if you're not really experiencing it as pain, and that'll tear down your immune system, making you extra susceptible to getting sick.

And keep it out of the sun for a year. (says the one who is still going around with a big glob of white sunblock on my upper lip every time I go out the door, and with big brown patches on my knees, shoulders and elbows from 20-year-old road rash that got sun on them)

Hope you heal up quick.
