How to stop your knuckles from discolouring?

[Yosser Hughes]

As your wraping your hands make a fist and be sure the knuckles are all evenly at the same height! Build up the lower knuckles with foam or pieces of extra hand wrap cloth. Your index might be hitting first and receiving to much pressure from the punch impact! Use the extra material towards the end of wraping your hands!

Just looking at my fist, my index knuckle is slightly protruding.

This sounds like the best advice; I need to pad it out to distribute the force more evenly. Thanks mate.

I do wrist-rolls regularly and i have blisters so to speak on my knuckles, I mean skin getting harsh. Yes, it does look like elbow skin. I do not see a problem though, it is boxing?

I just the hit bag as part of my cardio.

But even still, if I was a boxer -- I wouldn't want knackered looking hands.

I see. Well you get red skin for the same reason you may get blister on foot - because of friction. I think somebody suggested already using plaster.HOpe it helps

The knuckle on my index finger already looks like a mole from hitting the heavy bag.

Anyone got any tips on how to prevent this?

Give these gel wraps a try. I use them as they really cushion the knuckles.

My knuckles are fairly discolored after many years of ******ly hitting the bag with just wraps on or sometimes bare fisted. I don't mind it tho...looks kind of bad azz lol.

Maybe get a pair of knuckle guards for added protection before you wrap your hands. I think this is what Ray was talking about.



What type of gloves are you using?
