When i went in to the doctor to get some antibiotic cream and bandages for my road rash awhile ago, they told me not to use peroxide, but alcohol (topically) instead. Apparently peroxide kills not only the bacteria, but also your own cells, making your wounds heal more slowly and less cleanly. I guess alcohol doesn't do that? Either way, make sure to keep it moist with cream/gel covered in linen bandages so it can still breathe.
get well soon! it took a couple of weeks for mine to heal completely, and it still looks kinda gnarly, but even so, its true, chicks dig scars.
