sorry, that was rude, clean it out as best you can!. use triple antibiotic cream stuff, AKA neosporin!. I had something like that once, its really horrible!. it was only on a small spot!. don't try to scrub it, *shivers* god that would hurt!. i rinsed it off with clean water, (cool water), then put the neosporin on it, and put gauze on it!. The dirt and debris will come out on thier own with the neosporin!. you will probably get scars!.!.!. well, at least you have a cool story!. lol

Stop the bleeding!. For more information, see how to stop bleeding!.
Determine whether other tissues, such as blood vessels, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, bones, or internal organs, have been injured!.
Determine whether evaluation and treatment by a health professional is needed!.
Clean the wound and remove any dirt or debris to prevent infections (both bacterial skin infections and tetanus, or lockjaw), decrease scarring, and prevent "tattooing" of the skin!. (If dirt or other debris is not removed from a scrape, the new skin heals over it!. The dirt can then be seen through the skin and often looks like a tattoo!.)
