I fell off an electric scooter about a week ago and got some road rash. how do i know if im taking care of it the right way and if its healing correctly?

Road rash: This type of an abrasion should heal within a 10 to 14 day. The wound should be improving the scabs should be lessening you should not be having any fever there should be no redness. If redness fever weeping you should have the wound seen. You could send a picture online.

Treatment:: How are you treating yourself now? Is there severe pain and redness? Is there pus formation? Is your tetanus status up to date? Cannot be evaluated online-requires direct observation by exam. Do yourself a favor: close your computer a get examined. Cannot be diagnosed online.
