Life I have papercuts. I was in the library yesterday and flattening out some photocopies which were bound a plastic folder and somehow managed to hit a sharp edge and sliced through the pads on three of my fingers. I didn't scream or yelp, I was a real man about it, but good god they're itchy. I hadn't realised how much I used those fingers for typing, picking up things, making gestures.
Sounds strange, but the best thing for papercuts is audio tape. Get an old one you don't want, cut a strip of about 8 inches and wind it round your fingers. It sounds strange, but it takes the sting right out.
