i got road rash about two weeks ago and its healing , its on my leg and its pretty big. The skins turning pink and some spots are brown it looks alright and its itching like crazy. Hair is even growing out of it and its long. I have been applying a triple antibiotic ointment and some aquaphor. My skin is breaking out though, its covered with pimples. Almost all the pink skin is covered every few hours
Hi. As per your case history of road rash, my treatment advice is - 1. Clean the lesion with plain water and povidone iodine twice daily. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and antihistamine like levocetrizine for itching. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
