So i restarted playing guitar after 2 years and i been playing for 5 hours straight yesterday and today (heavy and death metal playlist) i dont remember having much pain on my finger tips lol... is there anything i can do to heal it faster? id like to play again tommorow but i think ill need to wait a day or 2.

 

 

Thanks in advance

smoke weed for the pain, keep playing

Just take it easy and let your fingers toughen up.

 

Or if you really want to play

SuperGlue (Cyanocrylate) :D

Although the best course is, indeed, take a rest and give time for the skin to develop callouses to avoid blisters. But if you really can't avoid playing (i.e. you're a professional musician), taking proper care of the blisters and sealing them with super glue (or just protect the skin from the burst of the strings) really works.

But I repeat: do it as a last measure only. Health issues (even minimal ones like aching skin on the fingers due to playing) are not a laughing matter.. and Internet shouldn't be the preferred health consultant :lol:

I am also a rock climber and have been really impressed with a product called "climb on".  It is a balm that you put on blisters/road rash/tore up skin and it heals in about 12 hours....  you can find it at most climbing stores or on amazon....
