I've known plenty of guys who used adhesive tape in certain places on their fingers and that is legal. Also using some things (a wrist brace for instance) for medical reasons is also legal, as long it is clearly for the injury and not just for support. I'd say that if there was a way to wrap it which didn't help the grip, it might offer less fodder for someone to question it, but unless it's in a competition, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
