Riding home from work today, I decided to see what was on the other side of my handlebars. Turns out that over there, they do really fast pushups on asphalt.

Came home, hands stung like hell, so I used some Orajel (active ingredients: Benzocaine, zinc chloride) to numb the area for a couple minutes while I cleaned out the bits of gravel. Worked great, couldn't feel a thing while cleaning or applying gauze (masking tape is temporary).

I didn't go nuts with the Orajel and it washed off while I was cleaning. It's probably fine, right?

...Right?

It's perfectly fine; be sure to put some antibiotic ointment on there too. And I hope you cleaned the cuts with antiseptic.

He was riding home on his bicycle and (presumably) hit something, causing the bike to immediately stop while his momentum carried him face-first over the handlebars. He landed on his palms, with his arms instinctively outstretched to break the fall and protect his face.

pour some hydrogen peroxide on a piece of gauze, and scrub the fuck out of the cuts..make sure you get allk the gravel and dirt out of there...then disinfect with some alcohol, then put some neosporin on it. if a big part of your hand is fucked up, get some of that second skin shit to put ove rit.

Spoilers: you don't actually need antiseptic shit or anything else. I never put anything on any of my wounds and I'm still alive. I think.

Ah, yes, because you personally have never suffered from a MRSA infection, they're completely harmless. We don't even need antibiotics really; they're for pussies.

DO NOT USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ON OPEN WOUNDS.

Everyone does it, I was brought up with it, but it actually impedes healing and damages skin. HP is good for oral disinfection (rinsing), surface abrasions and preliminary cleaning of skin, but it was never intended to go into open cuts or tears.

If you really want to disinfect, just smear a thin layer of neosporin on it. As much as I typically hate corporate products, that shit is 100% legit, works like a muh-fucker.

Protip: Current antibiotics won't help you against MRSA .

Current beta-lactam antibiotics will be mostly useless against MRSA; glycopeptide antibiotics are generally effective. Anyway, antibiotics are not antiseptics, and you are a moron.

>OP here

To clarify, I was biking home riding with 1 hand and reached for my water bottle. I hit a bump, veered right, and got my left hand back to the handlebars fast enough to apply the front brake too hard, and subsequently landed hands-first.

BTW, any pussy can use peroxide, alcohol, or iodine after using Orajel; I couldn't feel a thing while scrubbing (no dirt left in scrapes).

Just changed gauze while replacing masking tape, didn't see any bits of not-flesh in there. Re-bandaged with liberal amounts of polysporin.
