Re: Road Rash [Felt_Rider]
Another vote for hydrocolloidal dressing. I can't recommend this stuff enough!

As others have mentioned, clean the wound, apply a hydrocolloidal dressing (like duoderm, no cotton/cloth), and leave it on until until it falls off or the edges become itchy. Repeat until the skin is healed.

I've had several instances of burns and road rash that have healed surprisingly scar free using hydrocolloidal dressing.

The key to avoiding scarring and prolonged healing is to keep the wound from developing a scab, while keeping it moist and sterile. The hydrocolloid dressing seems to have an additional side effect of practically eliminating local stinging pain by merely keeping damaged skin moist and covered.
