A member asked:
I have road rash on my palms and i am keeping it well covered with ointment. how long until the pain stops? i cannot shower

Water is good for it: Keep greased with vaseline or Aquaphor. Not bacitracin or neosporin. Won't be long. Depends on how deep and how much dirt was ground into it. You neglected the crucial detail of how long since the injury.
