    Hi Guys,

    when i play a lot in the week and use a lot of smashes i get a weird cut at the middle finger on the side. It always hurts when i smash and it is not affected by Drops, or any shots below the hips. Since i play a lot in the week (3 to 4 Times) the cut can never heal up and is constantly expanding. I have the feeling that it is mostly affected by the under arm rotation, that puts somehow a lot of stress on this particular point of the middle finger. Does anybody have experience with this?
    Regards

    Looks like your skin is quite dry. Once the wound heals, you can try putting some moisturising lotion on it.

    Looks like a friction blister. Put emollient as Cheung mentions. Should also put on a small band aid when you next play.
