Hand Rips!


Prevention:
Maintain your calluses, I use a dremel. Some people use a pumice stone in the shower and some use a razor or toe nail clippers to keep them down. Regardless of your method, keep them down so your hand is smooth.

When the damage is done:
  1. Cut off the dead skin and wash your hands thoroughly. Finger nail clippers work well for the trimming.
  2. Use some antibiotic goop and cover with a band-aid overnight.
  3. The next day, remove the band-aid and apply vitamin E oil and let the area get oxygen.
  4. Keep the area moist with the vitamin E oil and do not cover with a band-aid if possible. Your new skin needs air!
  5. Use tape to cover the area during workouts until the new skin is strong enough (about a week)
