Ouch! The skin
on my fingers peels...advice needed
I have never had true calluses on my fingers, just tough spots of
skin. The problem is that when I play the skin peels off,
particularly on my first and second fingers. Even when I am not
playing the skin peels off when I get my hands wet. HELP! Does
anyone have any suggestions of what to do to help my fingers or
prevent this peeling of the skin??? Any advice is GREATLY
appreciated!

See a
dermatologist
You should go see a skin doctor and find out why your skin won't
make callouses.

some people
can't make callouses..
But most people can and do, unless you are one of the unfortuante
few, try putting on surgical spirit - rubbing alcohol for those of
you in the States. This will encourage the skin to harden gradually,
try not to leave them for too long in hot water, this can make
anyone's finger tips peel!! You could try a little Bag balm or
something similar to conteract the soreness.

sore
fingers
I must say i completely disagree with the surgical spirit idea-i`ve
done that and it made mine worse-so sore i couldn`t play.I found
rubbing a cream,antiseptic or otherwise or if youre into
aromatherapy an oil ,really helped mine.

calluses
Back in ancient days (when I was in high school) and participating
(mostly sitting on the bench) in athletics, there was a product
called something like "Tuff Skin" - a kind of stickly liquid which
we applied to blister-prone areas. It did seem to help develop
calluses.
I have no idea if such a product is still
available.
