when i wrecked my doc wrote me a perscription for selvadine creme, it worked great!! took the burn away and prevented the bandages from sticking

Thanks for all the advice. I picked up a tube of triple antibiotic and I'll use it until the wound closes up. Then I'll start applying the scar treatment. The instructions on the scar treatment stuff say that you should use it after the wound has healed.

Oh, if anyone wants to see the picture, go here.

Be warned, it makes me queasy when I look at it.

Looks almost like you've got a set of lips on your thumb knuckle... Just struck me as humorous...

I didn't notice that before, but you're right.

The things what I made and how I made them. - Angle grinder accident.

Personally I would be cautious using antibiotics with out clinical signs of infection.
Globally, over use of antibiotics has not helped us in maintaining our own immune systems. There is strong links with increased resistance to some strains of bacteria.

Back when I was young and naive (now I'm old and naive) I tried to follow a buddy on a sport bike with my enduro during our lunch hour. Tried to take a corner at the same speed he did and laid down my bike. Yeah, enduros can't corner like street bikes can as I found out. I had a nice sized road rash on my right arm from it, about 6 to 9 inches long.

When I returned to work I didn't find anything in the first aid kit except alcohol wipes. Thinking alcohol would kill the infection I opened one up and placed it on my arm. Don't try that. It hurt like mother freakin' bloody hell. After rolling around on the bathroom floor waiting for the pain from the alcohol to subside I tried to return to work. My supervisor sent me to my doctor to get treatment for my injuries and the doctor scrubbed out gravel that was buried in my arm.

The previous message was brought to you by Darwin Awards, where candidates attempt at removing themselves from the gene pool.

I'd suggest going to the doctor. You never know what kind of contaminants or foreign objects you introduced to your road rash.
