This is the answer! I've had numerous melanomas and premelanomas removed and one was on the exact areas where an underwire curves up to meet the gore of my bra. I used some of these bandages and while it took forever to heal, you can barely see a mark there. They are called hydrocolloid bandagess as a category but are also marketed in the US especially as "blister bandages", and are available in various shapes. The first few days I packed some extra gauze between the top of the bandage and my underwire to serve as a cushion, but since they bandages themselves are kinda squishy after a few days I didn't need to use them anymore. Protips: Be sure your skin is absolutely clean and dry before you apply them, and then don't wear a bra for about an hour to allow the adhesive to set. If you can do it at night before bed, that's probably best. And then just leave them on basically till they fall off. They absorb moisture and are waterproof, so you can shower with them on. They keep the skin moist and allow the skin matrix to granulize from deeper skin surfaces, so the wound may seem like it's not healing or is gooey for a while, but that's just the bandage itself doing its job - your skin is healing from below the surface. Good luck and feel free to PM me with any questions about them. I've got three different dermatologists offices recommending them now!

I started climbing in late April this year. For the first month, my hands were always torn up. After I learned better hand techniques, it occurred less often and now after a solid three months, I have developed calluses where I need them and it doesn't really happen any more.
To quickly heal back up I recommend Climb On Balm and for bad ones that require some healing time, I recommend Band-Aid Advanced Healing
If you use the latter, don't climb with them on as they will quickly peel off and require another one.
