    Default knee scab

    so i hurt my knee the other day in which an inch or so of skin was ripped off. it is just starting to scab and i want to skim on monday. however i know that if i skim, the wound is going to open again once my knee hits the sand. how would i go about preventing this from happening?

    wow duct tape, just imagine the hell it would be pulling it off, probably the stupidest idea ever, put a non stick pad on it then wrap some waterproof gauze around it and prob some waterproof tape

    to keep my wound dry i used a tegaderm...its a clear square with adhesive aroundthe edges. sticks well, but i have a feeling your boardshorts are going to rip it off. i usually just man up and let it open again.
