Title: What to put in grazes and grass burn
Post by: Cublingtoncc on January 31, 2017, 06:37:18 AM: Good morning peeps.

I know this sound weird but totally nothing to do with cricket. I was playing football on Astro turf last night and I've totally grazed the side of my leg. Everything I wear now sticks to it and in bed the duvet was just sticking to jt. I also suffer this in the cricket season after diving on grass. What's the best things to put on it ???

There is a liquid plaster/skin which does work ok, also an iodine spray is helpful

I've known a few people get some nasty infections from astro turf pitches, especially water-based ones. Anti-bacterial plaster spray is sensible just to keep the cut clean.

If you rash out on the non-affected skin, let it breathe between clings.
