forteh Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Soaking your skin with surgical spirit will toughen it, use some cotton wool soaked in it and keep applying, eventually it will dry out and harden the skin. Other than that let it heal over, keep it dry and dont ride so hard that it blisters before youve finished. Try make sure you keep callouses at the base of your fingers trimmed back, if they spread up over the crease between your palm and finger it will crack and get very, very sore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eep803 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 It depends on what day I'm having, sometimes I don't manicure, chicks love the rough skin on my hands and my sharp nails. Other days when I wear a skirt the boys much prefer me to have nice soft hands. On a more serious note. Toughening up the skin with alcohol hand wipes/gel or white/surgical spirit is what a lot of squaddies/runners/hikers used to do to prevent blisters. Nowadays thinking has changed. If you toughen the skin it forms a hard layer which then blisters below and makes it harder for the blister to come out and then leaves a ragedy flap of thick skin to heal. So what they do is exfoliate/scrub and use moisturisers to keep the skin soft n supple and prevent the build up of hard skin patches (sounds suspiciously like a manicure to me). Either way, it passes with time as you and your skin toughen up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLIW Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Pair of side cutters and snip them off. I get one right under my wedding finger and very happy when I can cut it off. They quickly come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghazestor Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I tend not to ride with gloves, and as a result I've got hard calluses which no longer hurt when riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
