How To Cure Redness About 1 Inch After Scraping Off Skin On Right Forearm?
I am 73 yr old and scraped a 1 inch piece of skin off of my right forearm. I hit it on the corner of a cupboard. I think that I burned it with peroxide; however, now I have a 1 inch red ring around the hole which is about the size of a thumb nail. What can I do now.

Burning with peroxide meaning you are having contact dermatitis now. You should stop that application. Take proper antibiotic, antiinflammatory drug after consulting your doctor. You will ok don't worry.
