If they are indeed deep, you should go to the hospital, or, if they have pebbles that you can't remove, you need to go. If they aren't too bad, clean them well, it is going to hurt, but you have to clean it!! If they are large, gauze is the best thing because it will cover a larger area. Just beware that you need to change it often so that it doesn't get stuck in the abrasion. If they aren't too big, a big band-aid would probably be sufficient.

Wash well and perhaps pour peroxide on them. And wrap a light gauze on to keep dirt from getting in to cause infection. I had to do that a few times when I got blisters and infection in my hands (long story).

the best way is to wash it with soap and water, if it is very serious (about 3-4 mm) inside, then i suggest going to the hospital, otherwise, wrap it in clean cloth till the bleeding stops
