Keep it clean: Moisturize it if dry and chaffed, then apply hydrocortisone 1% OTC twice a day for few days, avoid the band aid, if that doesn't help see your doctor

Deep cut on my elbow. Happened Friday night. It's too later for stitches correct? It got worse Saturday night sleeping without a band-aid. I can see tissue/skin poke out when I flex arm. Been covered since Sunday and clean every shower.

I found a bald spot at the back of my head all of a sudden. Not sure if its related but I get a rash on the inside of my elbows as well, itchy and pimply and represents weeping eczema if scratched. Powder normally calms it down...
