Cut knuckles and how to help them heal quicker...

Question

I started Krav Maga recently, and plan on attending 4 times a week, and, just like when I was boxing, my knuckles have started getting torn up, even with MMA gloves on.

I was wondering what I should do to speed up the healing and still be able to participate fully in class?

Thanks

Answer 1

rub rock salt into them. (this will hurt like h**l) but its good for them and you might grow calice faster.

Answer 2

Do you wrap your hands? Start doing some exercises to build callus on your knuckles.

Answer 3

Neosporin or other topical antibiotics will help with the coagulation process.  You also need to eat something with lots of iron to help the healing such as liver, strawberries, or even spinach.  Be sure to keep them covered.

Don't put salt in the wound!

If you haven't noticed an improvement in 72 hours, go ahead and superglue them.  They'll heal over night if they've been glued.  Use Vaseline on top of the superglue to keep the itching down - that's what boxers do.

Answer 4

sports tape

or soak your hands in terps but carefull doing that with open wounds
