so funny story haha. i was at softball practice last night at an indoor facility. The ground is made of an astroturf- carpet type material. the drill was to practice sliding on a piece of cardboard. i however slid a bit too early and skinned my thigh on the carpet/astroturf stuff.Now i have a giant burn thing about the size of my fist on my right thigh. It oozes constantly (which is extremely gross!) Last night i slept with it uncovered hoping it would dry up a bit, but it didn't. i taped a piece of medical gauze over it today for school, but it oozed right through! Also, when i went to take it off, the gauze was stuck right to it, and i had to yank it off hard, and it hurt soooo badd. i really don't want to have to do it again! Can someone please tell me how to make the pain go away (it burns!), make it dry up, and stop oozing? I've skinned myself before, but this is the worst one i've ever had.

Apply Cold Water to the Rug Burn You can treat a rug burn the same way you'd treat other first degree burns. The first step to treating a rug burn is to hold the injured area under cool, running water for about ten or even twenty minutes. Do not place ice directly on a rug burn. This could actually cause more damage to the injured area. Keep the Rug Burn Dry After removing the injured area from the water, gently but thoroughly dry the area with something soft and gentle, like a cotton ball. You want to keep a rug burn dry at all times. So, after baths and showers, give make sure the rug burn is thoroughly dry. Clothes Can Irritate a Rug Burn When fabric rubs against a rug burn, it can cause pain an irritation. It can also slow down the healing process, something you definitely don't want. So, if possible, try to wear clothes that won't rub against a rug burn. For example, if the rug burn is on your leg, wear skirts or shorts whenever possible. If the rug burn is on your arm, wear short sleeved shirts instead of long sleeved shirts. Making minor changes in the way you dress while your rug burn heals can make a world of difference. What Not to Put on a Rug Burn There are some things you definitely don't want to put on a rug burn, because they'd cause more harm than good. Some things you should avoid putting on the area are butter, lotions, powders (like baby powder), perfumes, sunscreen, alcohol, and baby oil. All of these things could cause irritation, and make the rug burn worse, and make it take longer to heal.
Don't like he said it will get Moise ????????????????????????????
Ew that's pretty gross. It must really hurt. :S The best thing I can think of is to just wrap it with gauze instead of simply taping it. Hope it heals soon. Make sure it doesn't get infected or anything - if it does go to the doctor.
