After a motorcycle mishap, you may feel fortunate to survive and not be bothered about minor damages. Still, if you have been affected in a motorcycle crash, even a slight case of road rash may lead to medical problems. Motorcycle road rash injury caused by accident can give you depression and a lifetime scar. So, treating the injuries through surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures is essential. 

Unfortunately, the same lack of exterior protection that so freeing puts motorcyclists while enjoying the wind also puts them at a severe downside in the event of a crash. With nothing but their riding gear between them and the road, riders can suffer catastrophic, or indeed fatal, motorcycle road injuries.

What is motorcycle injury?

Motorcycle injury is one of the most familiar injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents. While grouped as abrasion damage, it’s anything but “ just a scratch .” Road rash injuries happen when a motorcyclist’s body slides across the road, and layers of muscle, skin, fat, and other cells are sheared down. Not just is road rash immensely hurting, but it can also be weakening, disabling, and disfiguring.

If you have been affected in a motorcycle crash, a minor case of road rash may lead to medical issues. Seek medical attention instantly if muscle or bone is visible, there's a large object lodged in the injury, the road rash covers a large skin area (similar to an entire limb), the injury won't stop bleeding, or there are other complications, such as;

• Infection – Redness may be from inflammation, but you may retain an infection if it spreads. Swelling, sickness, a dirty odour, the development of pus, and foul odour are also signs that you have developed an infection, and you will need to see a doctor to define you antibiotics.
• Severe pain
• Scars

Various degrees of injuries

There are three types of accident injuries by motorcycling, called degrees. Those situations, from mildest to most severe, are:

1. First-degree
   Minor road rash from a motorcycle accident generally involves scrapes, little bleeding and bruising. After entering medical attention, the utmost injured  can treat first- degree road rash at home.
    
2. Second-degree 
   Second- degree of injuries means that the bruise breaks the skin. The basal layers of skin remain complete, but you may be capable of seeing them, and debris – similar as dirt, stones, and glass - may come lodged in the injury and cause internal scarring. 
    
3. Third-degree
   Third- degree injuries involve deep injuries and severe bruises, exposing muscles, tendons, bones, and nerves. Because there may be significant bleeding and a threat of infection, the patient should seek immediate medical care.

Treatment for the motorcycle accident injuries

Though first- and second-degree motorcycling accidental injuries generally heal without any type of medical intervention, third-degree is painful, and you will need treatment in most cases. Common treatments include:

• Stitches
• Debridement
• Skin grafts
• Other surgeries

Indeed with proper treatment, motorcyclists with road rash do not have to face the trouble of dangerous infections, excruciating pain, nerve injury, and scar.
