How To Treat A Friction Burn Looking Wound On Left Buttock/back Thigh Due To A Fall?

Hi, I fell of my skateboard recently and have a friction burn looking wound on my left buttock/back thigh. Would you recommend covering it up with a band-aid or how should I treat it? It is hard for me to sit down at the moment as it is sort of like an open wound. Thank you in advance

Hi,
It seems that you got infected wound on the part.
Clean the wound with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
