Just curious what works best...

a) Bag Balm
b) Vit E
c) Aloe
d) Both a and b
e) Both b and c
f) All of the above
g) Quit yer whining and buck up

Seriously though... Any kind of wound on the back of my hand seems to take forever to heal. Whether it's from a slipped wrench while working on the bike or that heinous wide hands crack at the crag. What works for you?

Cheers,

Jer

Honey, under a bandage. Keep it fresh.

My fiance has perma-gobis on the backs of his hands and he uses New Skin - that liquid bandage stuff with antiseptic. It works well but is highly flammable so don't go lighting up with that on your hands.... It will rub off (obviously) if your jamming your hands in cracks but that's what a little tape is for. Of course I always pick on him (since I don't usually get gobis, but my hands are smaller) and tell him if he worked on his technique he wouldn't get them!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
