How do you keep road rash from scarring???

Recommended Posts

Kinda zippy on that landing yesterday...:$ But the jump was sooooo damn cool!!! 71 seconds of freefall!! YIPPEEE!!

Ok, but my left shin is skinned up in a patch about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide, and I have very pale skin that scars really easily...[:/] It drew blood but just barely...most of the tiny amount of blood stuck to the nylon inside of my jumpy-jumpy pants -that hurt taking them off! B|

I used some iodine (isn't that the yellow-brown sh*t they use prior to surgery?) on it at the DZ yesterday...what else should I do? Damn I don't need anymore scars!!! B|:S

Don't let her anywhere near any sharp objects.:P

Seriously - I agree - also - long hot soaks in Epsom Salts helps, dont forget to "Debried"(sp) the area. The dead skin is what scars (I was told)

Exp: 80mph down the middle of a road :: Scarring - minimal.
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Vitamin E oil.
Readily available - I get it at health food stores. It should be brown in color, not clear.
It was recommended to me after I ran face first into a Volkswagon Van while playing football in a parking lot. No visible scars at all - not even if you know where to look.
Use it after the wound has a good scab.

My professional opinion, use a (large) bucket of Neosporin, a little big of lemon juice after it heals, 2 apples, 2 aspirin, 6 beers, 2 shots of Yaegermeister, 3 Hail Marys, 3 Our Fathers, 16 candles (ya gotta wish for it to not scar), 2 shots of Goldschlager, and call me in the morning. B|

*scratches unreadable prescription for items listed above*

Hey, I didn't go through 14 years of Medikal Kollage for nothin. ;)

I don't know, but I wish I did for my motorcycle accident.



Where? C'mon, I'll sow you mine if you show me yours.....:D:ph34r::D:P



They aren't too bad, they are on my knees. And I guess I really don't care all that much, it's just when I wear a skirt/dress, or my bikini, I get a little self conscience about my knees because well, it just doesn't look nice, even though they arent that big.

Vitamin E oil.



if you really want all your scars to fade, dont just use it topically, get Vitamin E supplements..800-1200 iu a day has helped remove scars from years of skateboarding, rockclimbing BMX, and general hooliganism......not to mention the new ones i've gained skydiving...;)
