    as retarded as this is going to sound A&D ointment made for diaper rash is the best thing I have found for scrapes and road burn.

Watch for any signs of infection, especially in the deeper areas. If you see any pussy areas, especially if they get yellowish or greenish, you should see a doctor. Otherwise, keep it clean and dry and allow it to be exposed to the air as much as possible. Take aspirin or advil for pain- those kinds of burns can hurt a lot.

I suggest to put some polysporn on it. It works wonders. Then let the air at it. don't put a band-aid on it.
