I have been playing guitar for about 6 monthes now. I try to play at least 2 hours everyday. I noticed at first that after playing for awhile I would begin to get grooves in the ends of my fingers from bending, sliding, and just generally fretting the strings. I assumed that this was normal and that after awhile my fingers would toughen up and this would stop but it hasn't. Sometimes it gets to the point where I have to stop playing because it hurts to fret the strings, or I cannot even press the string all the way into the fretboard because of the grooves and my tone suffers horribly. It is especially bad on my index and middle fingers, but dependent on what kind of music I am playing I get them on my ring and pinky fingers as well. Is there anything that I can do to make this stop or am I just going to have to deal with it?

Thanks,
Sandman
