1. keep are clean and dry (wash with warm water and mild soap)
2. if Blisters DO NOT pop them
3. DO NOT use the Coconut Butter!!!
4. Can use the neosporin remember a little goes a long ways Do Not gob it on (skin needs air to heal)
5.keep blisters covered with clean bandage, and replace them as needed.
6. a pain med can be used for pain
7. cool wash rag on them may also help with pain do not use ice packs on them as can get to cold and cause frostbite which is an other type of burn 
8. were lose shirt and USE proper safety items when playing and doing sports.

It's unlikely he'd get a rug burn from an occasional fall/short slide. But he'll more than likely get a rug burn when he starts crawling! Rug burns generally happen from repeated friction in one particular area in a short amount of time. Meaning when he's crawling, he'll be dragging his knee along the carpet repeatedly and may end up with rug burns on his knees. You can put him in pants to less then chance though. I'd do exactly as you said with him toppling over....don't make a big deal out of it unless you know he's really hurt.
