Can you tell me if there is something to treat a horrible road burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second-degree burns: ..., such as an abrasion or "road rash, " will heal on their own, given good wound care and good nutrition. Such wounds on the face should be gooped up with antibiotic ointment several times a day; no dressings are necessary. Wounds elsewhere can have antibiotic ointment or silver sulfadiazine (silvadene) applied and then dressed with dressing changes daily in conjunction with a bath/shower.
