Question : I got a cut a few days ago not deep a blister or rug burn. From my aerobics mat. It's not scabbing because I have continued to do the same aggressive exercises 10 hours a day. I now notice a faint red line extending out about 1.5 inches from it looks like following a vein maybe.

Brief Answer:
Giving rest to the part should relive the problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear

Welcome.

I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Dermatologist.
I have assessed your query and would help you in finding a solution.

In a situation like yours, I would have advised anyone to do the following:

1 Give rest to the area. Exposure to continuous friction can lead to skin changes as well as interfere with healing.

2 Apply Mupirocin cream locally thrice daily.It will reduce the bacterial burden and facilitate fast healing.

3 Protect from dust, rough surfaces and woolens that contain fur.

At times, the blood vessels become prominent in the vicinity of an injured area and tend to get back to normal when healing begins.

In a few days time, this regime will likely show its beneficial effect.

You are welcome to ask me anything that concerns your recovery from this episode.

Our best wishes!
