Trail rash?

[Catrin]

I was in the ER two weeks ago after a crash and while I had sutures in my elbow and was told to keep that covered, she just told me to clean the road rash on my leg and didn't tell me to cover it. Didn't tell me to keep it uncovered, but didn't tell me to cover it either. That may, or may not, be of any help to you.

Thanks, this is helpful. My thought was the rash probably isn't deep enough into the skin to present a real danger of infection, and frankly, it feels better being open. It also isn't THAT bad, that is probably where it helped that it happened on a dusty trail rather than pavement So since the ER wasn't concerned about it either way, then neither will I.

I hope you have recovered from your crash? It doesn't sound like it was much fun.
