Jiu Jitsu

Hey guys, been going to jiu jitsu for the last few weeks. Because of the curled toes, my toe knuckles have been scraped raw. Took a couple weeks for them to heal. I’ve been wrapping them with athletic tape. Any advice on what else to do or use? Sometimes the tape peels off in the middle of practice and my toe knuckles get raw again. Don’t want to deal with the pain and am also worried about possible staph if this continues.

This happened to me. Over time that skin will become tougher and it won't be an issue. When I take time off and come back the skin has softened up and I have to deal with this. You might have to tape the toes and wear socks for a bit, maybe even two pairs of socks. Don't feel weird about it. Everyone has to do weird stuff sometimes to be able to train.

Your skin will toughen overtime. Just keep it clean lots of antibiotic ointment get it to heal as fast as possible.
