It's been two weeks since I fell.
I was planning to "air-dry" the wounds, letting scabs form, etc...but about a week in, I was feeling very restricted in how I could use my hands, and things like showers were still annoying because I didn't want to ruin the scabs. But mostly I wanted my hands back.
So I did some reading online, and apparently covering scrapes/cuts and keeping them moist makes them heal much quicker. It seems scabs impede new cell growth, and can cause worse scarring.
