It comes with the territory man...
If you don't play for a few weeks, your figertips get soft. Then you go at it for a few weeks again and your fingers shred and peel until until you're pulling off scabs and skin. It takes time to build up calouses and it's painful, but hey.... that's the way it goes.

It's a right of passage so just go with the flow until you build up the strength to the point where you develop a layer of hardened skin.
