Very reasonable suggestions, thank you. I followed this common sense approach with a minor skinned knee and shin, but found that a simple band aid approach failed; the blood soaked through the band aid and started dripping down my leg. Next phase was to tape a square gauze over the skin. This worked for a while, but when changing the dressing, I pulled off the scab that had formed and had to start over. The silver lining is that I know for sure that Eliquis is doing it;s job.

So my specific question is this: would a product like New Skin or Second Skin work and would it be safe to use?

Sorry, @tct. I have no experience with either of those.
