When Biking Leads to Skinned Knees | Treatment and Signs of Infection

When Biking Leads to Skinned Knees | Treatment and Signs of Infection

Whether biking through town on your bright blue Schwinn, tearing up the mountains on your Trek, or just riding through the neighborhood on a bike with freshly removed training wheels, at some point that graceful aerodynamic ride will falter, and you’ll get stuck with a skinned knee. No matter your biking style, CUROXEN’s First Aid Ointment is an all-natural and organic formula that will be there to get you back in cycling shape.

The Dangers of an Untreated Skinned Knee

Minor wounds are pretty good about healing themselves (save for a few underlying health issues that may slow the process like diabetes, autoimmune diseases), so there’s a collective tendency to let nature- and the body- do all the work. While often times a body doesn’t need help healing itself, it does need defense against bacteria and germs. Leaving a wound untreated could have disastrous results ranging from the annoyance of a minor infection to the scary reality of sepsis, staph, and even superbugs like MRSA. That’s why we want you to know how to deal with minor road rash

How to Treat a Skinned Knee

Once safely at home, follow these steps to ensure that your skinned knee’s only lasting effect is a gnarly scar:

1. Stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the knee
2. Rinse the area to get rid of all the blood, dirt, and debris currently in and around the wound
3. Use a cleaning agent- preferably soap and water over hydrogen peroxide- to prevent infection
4. Apply the CUROXEN 
5. Cover the wound and change the dressing daily
6. Check for signs of infection

Signs of infection

Seek medical attention if you experience the following

  • Pus that is yellow or green in nature
  • Swelling or pain stemming from the wound
  • Fever

Skinned knees are always a high probability when on two wheels, so CUROXEN is there to make sure you can keep trucking even after you test the limits of gravity.

While biking is a fun and healthy activity, accidents can happen, and skinned knees are a common occurrence. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prevent injuries, such as wearing protective gear and following safety guidelines. If you do get a skinned knee, it's important to clean and treat the wound properly to avoid infection and promote healing. Curoxen offers a natural and effective solution for wound care, using organic ingredients like oxygenated olive oil to kill bacteria and promote healing. By taking care of your skinned knee properly, you can get back to biking in no time. Remember to stay safe and have fun!
