Hand Tears from CrossFit New England. I post on hand care fairly regularly, diagnosis maybe once every 2 months or so. It seems appropriate on a day when we have 63 T2B on the whiteboard. I, capsule like the author, # 40mg in a firm believer in the preventative wonders of the Ped Egg. Unlike the author, I have never packer my hand tear in salt (although this is not the first time I’ve heard of this).
My question for the group is: after a tear, what do you do with the sensitive skin. I find a tear area, especially in the palm, can be sensitive and continue to crack for days. What works best? I’ve seen nu-skin, super glue, band aids with neosporin.
Remember for hand care, the best defense is a good offense. Take care of your calluses, keep your hands dry during the WOD, don’t let chalk cake, and most importantly, develop a strong grip!
