Good call AzTallRider on the Tegaderm and the Tegaderm-like products out there that breathe and allow the wound to be moist while healing. Last time I had road rash I slapped some on my upper thigh, left it on for a couple weeks or whenever it decided to come off by itself, and the skin was nice and pink underneath with hardly a hint of scarring. Very different from when I was younger and let it scab.
