Flag Football on turf - turfburn question?!


Question: Flag Football on turf - turfburn question.?
So I was playing intramural flag football on a turf field. I am a very aggressive player at anything I do, so I go all out. If I don't give everything on the field, I don't see it as worth it. If I feel the only way to reach a flag is to dive for it, I will do so. I have on several occasions, and each time has led to turfburn. As I'm sure most of you know, this can be very painful after a couple hours.
I have cleaned it out with peroxide...got as much of the turf out of my leg as I can...and put Aloe on it, because my friend told me that should help. Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process.? It usually takes me about 2 weeks to fully heal from it. When on offense, I play QB, so I need to be able to move around pretty fluidly. Any suggestions are very appreciated...thanks!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
What your friend told you was absolutly correct. Really the only other thing you can do is to keep putting aloe on and some antibiotic ointment. also keep it covered as much as possible with a soft bandage. Playing all that football probably isnt the best rest for it but I have a feeling you wont stop doing that even for a day so just try and take it easy until it healsHealth Question & Answer
