Answers:
Try to be patient, because you've treated it correctly. Don't over- treat because you just keep irritating the skin and nerve endings. The best thing would be to take an anti inflammatory to relieve the pain, and keep the wound clean by covering it lightly with non-stick gauze so it gets oxygen. Abrasions really hurt and it'll take a couple of days to subside.
