Any ointment recommendations for road rash? I'm already way out in front on the Advil. crap! wet wooden bridges are super sketchy, as you said though at least nothing was broken (bike or body) I cant recommend anything for road rash, most of my bike "incidents" involve trees. get better soon and watch those bridges. |

Hope to be here with more frequency this year. Looking forward to catching up! Matt Welcome back! We are heavy on TX Manatees this year -- Connor, Markus, Sean, Monica, you. I feel like I am missing someone else. Justin? Thanks for remembering, yup, I (Justin) is also Texan. Although I've been quiet lately I've enjoyed reading all the comments. Good luck to everyone racing this weekend and for those of you in recovery, hope it's a speedy one! |

Yeah, I've tended to treat wet wood surfaces like ice as they're not too much different. Probably have some aches & bruising showing up over the next day or two as well, so take it easy. I'm not sure about any ointments either. Just keep it clean and cover the bad spots up. I did go down in wet terrain some time ago and picked up some road rash and it did get a little infection. My lower leg swelled up from that. I think the workplace nurse gave me some Silvadene to put on right away and to get into the doctor quick (it swelled overnight). Can't remember what he gave if anything, but it would have been prescription. This was all infection treatment though, not sure about healing faster. Neosporin is about all I've used on smaller things. |

Good luck to all the racers this weekend and good health to all on the DL. As for me, I'm almost back up and running. I'll be going for a short swim today to see how I feel, and hopefully that's a thumbs up for a ride tomorrow. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed I would make the just plain LAZY list. I love training and doing physical stuff outdoors, but otherwise can be incredibly lazy unless it's job-related or fun. On Tet break since Thursday and the most ambitious thing I've done in three days (aside from training--my coach is kicking my butt as she knows I'm having a "train-cation") has been to go to the grocery store and cook dinner. (Awesome this time of year as the stores are flooded with tons of interesting veggies and seafood and imported goods that aren't always available, due to Tet.) Hours a day of quality time with my cats and couch. I can happily sleep nine hours a night AND get in an afternoon nap. I would make a great pro if I was twenty years younger and had more talent--love to train and really good at recovery. |

Thanks to TJ, Dave, Ben, Melanie, Stacey, Randee, and all who have expressed concern (and condolences to those that shared similar stories!). Oddly, despite the large and angry red skin, it pretty much only hurts when I lay on it or touch it. I'm thankful it wasn't a lot worse! I was even able to get a run in today. Stacey - They sell that ointment on Amazon! I have some on the way. Thanks for the recommendation! In a weird language quirk, Papaw is a name for grandfather in the rural mountain US south where I grew up. Lucas' Papaw Ointment - now made with real grandfather! It looks like you all put that stuff on everything (based on the reviews). Until it arrives, I'm going with Ben's recommendation on keeping it covered with Neosporin and a gauze. Good luck to Chris and Kirsten in their races tomorrow! |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed Originally posted by awm007 In my house we sure do use that for just about everything. It's great for cracked heels, nappy rash, shaving rash pretty much anything. On road rash creates a nice kind of water barrier over the scabs which means that you don't have to constantly cover the area so it can dry out and heal quicker.

I'm already way out in front on the Advil. Oh no! Feel better quickly! I keep learning the hard way -- Stace Face is always right. But yeah, seriously, papaya cream is the bomb. I also use it on everything. My sister has pretty bad psoriasis (which is actually an autoimmune disorder that manifests in the skin, not really a skin disorder per se) and it works well for her. And yep, know what it's like to be in your skin many a time (and Stace Face has seen and shepherded me whilst there too!) Neosporin's good while you're waiting. I've also had really good results with better healing and super-minimal scarring with Vitamin E oil (you can get the oil or just open the capsules that you'd take orally and smear it on the skin). And for the Manatee peanut galleree generally, I use a combo of papaya cream + tea tree cream as chamois cream aka nethers-lube for cycling. Sore saddle and saddle sores really aren't part of my life anymore! |
