Worst Carpet Burns Ever

i have two huge and very painful carpet burns on the lower part of my knee.. i didnt really notice them at the time ( i was, ahem, busy) but theyre much bigger than a £2 coin and as so much skin has been stripped away theyre now a sort of pale white and the skin is all puckered
my friend said this is permanently damaged skin and will probably scar.is this true? ( i like my legs!:( ) i put a couple of plasters on them to protect from any bacteria but the pain was worse and they kept leaking all this clear sticky fluid ( which my mate said was pus?). on the edges its a darker pink but mostly white and theyre so painful i cant bend my knees or put any weight on them or anything..
any advice for easing the pain and what can i do to cure them?
