Sidewall damage: risks?

Hello,

I have relatively new tyres and I am faced with a problem: the sidewall casing is a bit exposed. I believe that this was caused due to me riding while the tyre was flat as I had to ride it to the bike shop... Given that these tyres are racing tyres with very thin sidewalls, it just couldn't take any abuse at all. It seems like the short ride caused the thin sidewall rubber to rub off, exposing the casing at a few locations, though none bigger than the size of afingertip.

I am now faced with a issue: can I continue to use the tyres? What risks are there if I continued to use them?

TIA
