Beckett Head & Shoulders above the blister problem now?
Sel ...sun ... Blue .... every pitcher needs some ...
".... Beckett, who revealed yesterday -- after pitching three scoreless innings in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers -- that the Red Sox medical staff has found that the blisters tended to crop up at times when he had outbreaks of eczema.
"It's something I still have to be careful with," said Beckett, who uses a product called CoQ10 to treat his eczema. "We've done a lot of testing and stuff like that, and the conclusion we've come up with since I've been with the Boston Red Sox is whenever I have eczema outbreaks, that's usually when my finger gets sore."
=======================================
Just as long as he doesn't use pickle brine on his scalp ....
Apparently if Beckett avoids these things he can prevent an outbreak:
"Moisturize frequently
Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity
Avoid sweating or overheating
Reduce stress
Avoid scratchy materials (e.g., wool or other irritants)
Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents
Avoid environmental factors that trigger allergies (e.g., pollens, molds, mites, and animal dander)
Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods"
That doesn't seem likely considering the field of work he is in... looks like more blisters for Beckett

That'll be extra difficult at his home ballpark! Imagine the poor guy pitching a day game on a sweltering, humid August afternoon in Fenway - yeech.
