2 x Antihydral Cream for Climbers & Hyperhidrosis/Sweaty Hands etc — UK stock

Product Information

For some climbers, antihydral works wonders. For others, it can be one of the worst things you can do. One of the worst cases of skin tearing during climbing is the flapper. No one likes a piece of skin dangling from their hand, especially when you are on a climbing trip, or even when you simply want to have a longer climbing session at the gym. Put the middle of the piece of tape behind and around the base of the finger that is closest to the flapper.

If you are to try it, I do recommend putting it on 2 days before climbing as this is how long it can take to see the full effects. Disclaimer Your hands are one of your primary means of climbing, and trying to climb with a flapper is distracting and painful. These skin tears come in all sizes but will affect your climbing and daily activities, regardless. Antihydral can also be really helpful for preparing your skin for a winter road trip. Imagine you’ve been climbing only in the gym for months and have relatively soft “gym tips”. You head south to Bishop and within a day your skin is trashed. Not a good situation! By applying Antihydral a few days before the trip, you can preemptively build callus, which is a lot more like the kind you get climbing outside a lot. On my most recent trip to Smith, I climbed four days on and had zero skin trouble. People that know me and know the problems I usually have with skin, know how amazing that is.If you are climbing with flappers taped up, try not to move your hands around too much after you get a hold or prefer using crimps over jugs. Wash the chalk off immediately after the bouldering session, and apply a moisturizing or repair salve to keep the skin supple

Limit dynamic moves to what is strictly necessary to send the problem. Dynamic moves put a lot of stress on the skin of hands and fingers, accelerating skin thinning and likelihood of physical damage. There are a number of other medications and treatment options that may also be used to treat excessive sweating, including antiperspirants, Botox injections, and prescription medications. Talk to your healthcare provider to discuss the best course of treatment for you, based on your individual needs and medical history.

Bring the two ends of the tape diagonally across your palm. They will cross on the flapper, and one will go to the inside of your wrist and one outside. There’s also discussion on if it’s better for the flapper to stay dry or to keep it moist. Some say to chalk it up to make it drier because if it’s moist, it takes longer to heal. Like the type of good where someone has decided you should have money for doing it… because you’re very good at it.
