Treat like a burn: Hi CGrover, effectively this is a sort of burn where you remove the top of the skin by friction. Keeping it covered will help (such as with plastic wrap or cling film) and using simple pain medicines (such as paracetamol or acetaminophen). If you have persistent problems see your family doctor.
