If you've ever taken time off from tennis, then you've likely experienced blisters on your hands once you get back on the court. Here's how you can ease the pain in 4 easy steps.
Many people will tell you to wait it out, but here's how you can ease the pain in 4 easy steps without missing a beat!
What to do when you get a hand blister:
1) Punch a hole in the dead skin
to relieve pressure
2) Squeeze out the fluid
3) Clean thoroughly
4) Then super glue it shut.
The 'new' tender skin is now unexposed.
If it sounds barbaric, it is. But it will relieve some of the aching, and allow you to play even your toughest match.
How to deal with your blister during a match:
Just before your next match, put a piece of gauze over the blister making sure no dead skin is left uncovered.
Next, tape it down with enough athletic tape to last through a match. Be sure to keep extra tape at courtside incase you need to do a little patchwork between games.
The gauz will help prevent the dead skin from being ripped off during play and afterwards when you remove the tape.
