Watch out for redness extending up the back of the hand. I had a nasty experience in the 80s with a similar abrasion on my elbow. It developed into a painful red upper arm. It was a tasty lymphangitis and without the right antibiotics I would have been in a really sorry state of affairs indeed.
Not trying to scare you, just watch out for that symptom in particular. I wouldn't want anyone here to have it: for me it was a week I wish I had never experienced.
