Gymnastics blisters.?!


Question:

Gymnastics blisters.?

I just started gymnastics and i am in the beggining level (red). After just a one hour class on the bars i have these huge tears in my skin kind of like popped blisters. Is there any way to prevent this from happening or any way to treat it? They sting and burn especially in water. Please give honest answers


Answers:

i was a gymnast for 12 years ... i made it to level 9 (i've never heard of it sepearated by colors .... so the fact that you're in level "RED" doesnt help much lol)

they're called "rips" and they suck ... ur gonna get alot of them but eventually ur hands will toughen up and u will develop calluses. which are actually good.

to help them....put neosporin pain relief on them. and have ur coach tape up your hand before you go on the bars again. this prevents infection. its gonna hurt like shyt to get back on the bars again but its just something ur gonna have to deal with in gymnastics. its the toughest sport ... ever ...

also there is this kind of band aid that REALLY helps the skin heal ... but there kind of expenisve ... called "second skin" or something like that .... they stay on for a long time and they help ALOT !!
