Help needed to get resources on wound care for paddling

Published

So to further explain the paddling reference, I am looking for best practice information for treatment of blisters and other stage 2 and 3 wounds to the buttocks d/t the constant pressure and friction generated by competitive dragon boat, kayak and canoe paddling. I am interested in dressings, ointments, etc.

Part of the problem is that the wound site will still be receiving a lot of friction and pressure until the meets and training sessions are over. If anyone has any resources they can direct me to I would appreciate it very much - and my fellow paddlers even more so.

I would also be interested in similar materials for finger and foot related wounds.

Thanks.
