The progression of FUGLY...... (Page 2)

I'd let it air out so that your skin can scab it over.  Wear a skirt today for better air circulation and less sticking.

X2 on Silvadene. I had a really bad crash a couple years ago.  The ER told me to use Silvadene and keep the wound moist and covered.  They also tolb me NOT to use Neosporin...that it would be better to use just vaseline if I didn't want to buy the Silvadene.  The road rash on my legs and hip healed very nicely.  My shoulder and knuckles that took most of the impact, there is some scaring...but those areas the scaring was deep.

I JUST got done healing from what looks exactly like your injury in exactly the same place.  It healed in three weeks and has left no scar.  Here's how I handled it.

Every morning I washed it gently uncovered with a small amount of plain soap.  Before dressing, I applied a mixture of Neosporin and A & D lotion.  While the wound was runny, oozy or just plain still wet (which was about 10 days) I kept it covered during the day with non-stick gauze.  I did NOT change the dressing during the day, even if it soaked through.

At night, I uncovered it and reapplied the ointment mixture.  I left it uncovered and stayed off that side (you'll learn to sit and sleep on one butt cheek ).  I had the sheets over me loosely and they didn't stick to the wound.  I found that the combo of having it covered all day to protect it along with allowing it to be uncovered at night was the perfect way to let it dry just enough without completely scabbing.

Good luck!
