Abrasions and gels: Friction burns are very shallow abrasion if the uppermost layers of the skin. Often, they are pretty painful. They heal, however, pretty rapidly. Do not let them get too dry, since that will slow the healing process. A healing gel is generally a means of adding moisture to a wound..so, yes, it would help

2-4 wks: A friction burn or blister that draws blood will take at least 2 weeks to heal depending on the location and the severity. Keep the area clean &protected with a clean, padded bandage daily. It's OK to use an antibiotic cream or gel as long as you don't have allergies.
