However, I peeled about a silver dollars worth of skin off of one knee, which is now starting to scab over. I'd like to put some kind of lotion or something on it to keep the area supple enough that the healing won't draw the skin up too tightly, and so the scar may be less noticeable. Do any of you ladies or gentlemen have any helpful hints to offer of what I should use?

I never had kids, so haven't been through the "skin your knees" thing before. :lol:
