I am sure all of us have, at one point or another, tore off the topmost layer of skin on the side of a finger.  It rarely happens for me but did recently.
When I was younger, I remember someone saying you could speed up the healing by breaking open a Vitamin E capsule and slathering the contents over the finger.
Any other ideas for speeding up the growth of the new skin?

Get marathon Liquid skin Protectant..can be pricey depending on where you get it--I have found a few ebay deals in the past on it....but it works great on the fingers for bowling purposes...check it out, soo worth it.

after bowling for 50 years with everything that you can imagine, it blows my mind that people get blisters, lose skin, and various other injuries from bowling.  I've never had so much as a an irritation.   Must be some real butchers fitting balls out there.

Not everyone starts out with the hands of a brick layer.

I didn't read where the OP injured his finger bowling.  Maybe he scraped it somehow else, but it will obviously affect his bowling.
