Ok, two weeks ago during spring break I played every day of the week, and now I have blisters that are kind of bleeding (skin is falling off so yeah...)

There's one on my middle finger on my right hand, one on my ring finger on the back of the finger, and another one on my back middle finger of my left hand ...

it sucks lol... I waited a week before playing again but the skin was still raw... anyone use any medication for this maybe?

I dont know what medications you could use, I'm not sure if there are any. You could wrap some medical tape around your fingers where they are. Or maybe wear a winter glove on your right hand.

I play every day of the week with no gloves and I have just developed some large calluses. But thats weird that you got so many on your right hand, that might have to do with the way your gripping the club, or how hard your gripping it.

I have no calluses, and I've never had a blister on my hands from golf. The theory is if you hold the club with a proper grip you won't get blisters. The rubber grip on the club can make a difference too. The cord and half cord grips can be very hard on the hands. I use Tour Wrap or Tour Velvets, never wear a glove and never get a blister.

When I was playing full-cord grips my hands tended to shred. Now that I've switched to non-cord grips on my irons I'm not having that problem. Even with half-cords (New Decades) I don't have much trouble.

That being said, I still wrap athletic tape on two fingers when I go out to the range or if I'm playing several days in a row. It works after the fact, too, but I'm a big fan of preemptive solutions. Why let it happen if you can stop it?

I had the same problem. What I did was got some liquid vitamin E and rubbed it all over my hands before I go to sleep and then put socks over my hands. It actualy works, and makes your hands really soft :).

I think I know why now. My glove was beginning to get lots of holes and it kept rubbing against my other hand.. friction =/

A quick fix that tends to work temporarily when your hands are shredded is liquid bandaid+a thin layer of sport tape. If your hands get too shredded up apply some liquid bandaid (it'll sting like a %*#@#) and then use some sport tape around the blister. For the sport tape, try using speed wrap. It's non-adhesive so it doesn't stick to your grip!

If you are wearing holes in your gloves your grip needs some work.

Just tape your fingers, and stop whining

Had the same problem, so I taped my fingers for a while.
Now they dont blister anymore, even without tape.

I had this my first round out this year. Came from gripping too hard. Once I relaxed they went away on my next round.
