After a 25mph get off on Friday morning I find myself with a nasty holed knee and a dinner plate sized part of my thigh that is completely devoid of skin 😔
I got home after the accident and showered straight away and scrubbed the grit and road grime from my wounds and bought some germolene which I've been using daily but the pain is horrible still, more so the thigh than the knee
Does anyone have any pointers to aid road rash healing or is it a case of time and infection management? I'm fairly well covered in tattoos so used to open wounds and looking after them but something about this feels different (maybe the force at hitting the road has bruised me too which hasn't come out yet)
Pointers, sympathy and tales of you smearing yourself up the road great fully received 😫
