The tape will work but you need to dip the tips in vinegar to heal the tear first.  Seriously.

file the edges off the flappers... campusing is notorious for this, esp the little finger! - keep the callus down in future... sandpaper

for now pack the *divot* with climb on bar to promote healing. the vinegar does not promote healing / strong flexible skin or even smell nice.

when you get a little bit of skin back try arnica cream, its the bollocks for promoting rapid skin growth (and the skin aint shit when it arrives neither).

SuperGlue.  But there are some that suggest it slows healing in the long term.  I believe that not.
