Post got messed up somehow.

I fell off my bike today and the road tore up my hands. There's some rocks under need those skin flabs. Any ideas how to take them out? Right now I'm trying to take off those skin flabs really carefully. The blood is making the dirt stick onto my hands.

Or should I just leave it in there? I'm scared I might get infected, but maybe they'll come out on their own? I'm hoping that if I take off the dead skin the dirt might be able to come out on its own when a scab forms and falls off.

Keep the area clean and try to pick the rocks out with your hand or tweezers. As the skin heals, it will push any debris to the surface.

I was going to suggest the same thing @jmboiardi.

 

Get the rocks out, clean it.. as it heals it will push the dirt out. This has happened to me many times as a kid
