On Monday I did rather a lot of digging/scraping and at the end of the
day found a very unpleasant blister right in the centre of my palm -
despite wearing gloves.

Used a plaster and carried on yesterday but it was getting worse.

Round lunchtime, partner reminded me we had some Compeed (required by
her very sore feet in Paris several years ago) - so I slapped one on.
Gloves as well. Left it on overnight and all today. Despite intensive
work, and doing the ironing, cooking and dishwashing, the blistering has
much improved. Amazed it stayed in excellent condition for that time.
Will put another one on tomorrow.

Thought it might just help anyone with a similar problem. And it seems
more likely that those of us who do not do manual things all the time
will be more likely to suffer when we do.

(I know that there are special versions intended for use on hands. But
we didn't have any handy. :-) )
