What do you do to heal your flappers as quickly as possible?

Just bite em' off
Nah..I don't know the answer really.
If they get really bad, I just take a couple of days off, then Im back to it and I forget about them, and they always seem to heal.

I use a product called new-skin. It's a liquid bandage ....... seals it good enough to use for the rest of the day (burns pretty bad at first)

Try soaking your hands in Metho (when you dont have any open wounds, cos it will sting like hell) this will toughen the skin up!

Use an anti-biotic cream, and put a bandage over it. Try to stay off it, and it will heal in a couple of days.

As long as it's superficial and not an open wound, I use super-glue.

Yeah, stick the flap back down with tape or glue after putting antibio underneath it. The flap won't heal back, but will protect the area underneath as it does.

Working in the medical field has advantages...
I carry suture thread in my bag, and after washing the wound, place a single stitch (depends on the size/type of injury.)
Not for the faint hearted or anyone scared of needles.
Adios,

basically superglue the thing shut and cover with climbing tape or just keep tape over it until the sensitivity subsides. at least thats what ive done.
