Default Road Rash question...

*** before you flame... just know that i always wear my gear i just made a mistake this time and have learned my lesson**
alright, i just had a question to any of you that have gone down before and gotten pritty bad road rash...i was screwing around on the 4th of july and (i probably should even have been on a vehicle at all 4th=drunk) on my quad and i was doing a 4th gear stand up on the tar and lost it .. probably at about 50mph i always wear gear when i ride my bike and most of the time when i ride my 4wheeler but i was into the sauce and not even thinking... i wasnt even wearing a shirt... so i got road rash on my shoulder pritty good and down my side... my question is... when im out in the sun now (its all healed up) it breaks out and stuff do you guys have any tips for the rash?

well eventually, I have never gotten pimples over my scars, but they are always not quite the same after wards... sensitive and numb at times.

Well, how about not exposing the newly healed skin to the sun? You'd think your body is telling you something if you're breaking out everytime you expose that healed patch to the sun.

When someone has cancer do they ask other people with cancer for advice or doctors?

You obviously need to keep it out of the sun. It is just that, "Newly Healed." It doesn't help with all the polution now a days neither to walk around without some sort of skin protection.

I would at least put some sunscreen on those areas if you're not already. Healed skin is obviously compromised and won't offer as much protection as healthy skin! Sunscreen FTW!

You're an animal doctor, not a Human doctor. Shouldn't you be making Horse Vaccines or something like that?

+1 for the sunscreen.

Chickens/birds are animals as they belong to the Kingdom Animalia. I think what you meant to say is chickens are not mammals as they are in Class Aves not Class Mammalia, a common misconception.

Now STFU and stop whoring up the OP thread.

Your scan does not have the ability to produce melatonin, the stuff that protects your skin from UV radiation and makes you tan. The "break out" you're getting is actually sun poisoning because your skin cannot protect itself to the UV. It should heal eventually but you really should keep it out of the sun (not just sunscreen) for a couple months.

Oh and stunting while drunk without a shirt is just plain retarded.

Good info Apoc. I read in a medical book written by world-renowned doctors that the body doesn't produce new skin. It's scar tissue.
