Cut on elbow

In August I received a very bad cut to the elbow and cut way deep into my skin. I let it do its normal healing process but during that process it ended up getting infected and I went to my local Urgent care center and they wrote me a prescription to kill the infection. All is well and I had gotten rid of the infection and healing was going very good. The scab feel off and that same day I ended up playing a sport and reopening that same cut on my Elbow. At this point it had already been a month and a half of having this cut so I was very mad about this happening. Yet again I let it do its healing but it is right on my elbow which I move everyday and It takes about 2 weeks just to scab over. Once again the scab falls off and all is good but the skin seems very very thin. I let this skin be exposed for over 1 week and was still very thin no improvement at all and today while playing a sport I cut it open again. Is there any one that can help me and tell me what creams and what I should use to make sure this fully heals and the skin is not so thin. I play high school sports and with basketball less then a month away I cannot have this anymore on my elbow! Please someone help me fix this issue I'm really tired of it and cannot stand it anymore!
