Friction burn: It is hard to answer without knowing how the injury occurred. But motrin -if not allergic and benadryl can reduce swelling .Using a cream like Desitin helps as it has antibacterial properties and with damaged skin that is a concern. Would also f/u/ w/ MD as they can asses if infection warrants oral antibiotics.
