Could i clean the road rash (abrasions) with hot water?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Best to use a good soap and water , then apply Neosporin and cover to keep from drying out. All will heal in time, often without scarring. Keep riding.

Recommended: To wash the injured area gently but thoroughly with warm water. The important thing is to wash debris out.
