Get well soon. As a former cyclist, road rash is part of the game. Hot showers and scrubbing with a rough sponge or loofa to avoid scabs forming and cleaning the wounds is the standard approach. Yes, it is as painful as it sounds but accelerates the healing.

I use freezing water not to mess with my wounds 
,
Iâll google what ur talking about later.
People donât tend to use Hydrogen Peroxide anymore as its so aggressive and kills damaged and undamaged cells, making the healing take longer, and makes scaring worse. Iâm not sure youâll find doctors or nurses recommending it anymore.
Just soap and water should be enough.
Thing is just plain soap is actually really good at its job.

I think youâre not supposed to use peroxide these days. It used to be big but more recently Iâve heard it takes away good stuff you need for healing

I definitely do! I show people whenever they ask why I wear a helmet I have a ton of scars from just two falls, but thatâs a risk I knew coming into the hobby
@Eboosted Indeed they will! I wonât have any cool war stories or anything, but I can certainly tell them about awesome crashes and bails. âBack in my day, we actually had WHEELSâŚâ I can imagine it now!
