Thunderpaws Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Anyone else experienced this? Got it from my wee boy about 3 months ago. When I was recovering the skin peeled from my finger tips and bottom of my feet. Don't play bass with my feet so that's ok, but I can't seem to get my fingers tough again and my fingertips are hurting every time I play. Any remedies out there?! What a stoopid post.

alyctes Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Doesn't seem stupid to me No remedies, except maybe gloves. Which is not going to suit a lot of players, I know What does your GP say? (Let me guess: "It'll get better with time and practice." Then you can ask if you can get practice time on prescription ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I had it over Xmas! Irritating at worst. Luckily I didn't have any gigs or rehearsals so it wasn't really a bother. Mind you the itchiness and bumps went away after a couple of days so I must have had it a lot milder than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I had it many years ago, but it all cleared up in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHW Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I picked it up last year- loads of little blisters on the hands and feet, and the most raging sore throat I've ever had- could barely speak and swallowing any food or water was agony. I was very ill for a week. It didn't cause any problems playing bass tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi folks. Yeah, those that have had it will know the throat part is the worst, and the fever. Like swollowing broken glass for a few days. My hands and feet rashed up with big red blotches. Thought it was clearing up but about a week later all of my skin fell off my finger tips and now I play on thin soft skin. Doesn't seem to be toughening up much. Sure it will in time though. Has made me better with a pick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
