Damn i'm that bad situation, yesterday i did swings on the rings without my usual protection on the hands (this was the first time), and after the first torn callus i've broken the other 3 on the following routine exit.

this is the first one broken

not bad, for now the wound with the skin taken off is 2 cm x 2 cm, the depth is at least 1 mm.

Do you have any experience of how much time i need to recover from it?

i got in the past only small break, but never on the base of all the fingers.

Huh, I'll have to try that salt trick sometime.

 

The most important thing is to keep the skin moisturized (not wet; moisturized. Learn the difference if you don't know it, as it's important here). If the skin gets too dry, it can crack, which can be a very unpleasant experience and makes healing take longer.

Most importantly, make sure it doesn't get infected Alex :)
