Members GRANKOR Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I rubbed a big chunk of skin off doing some massive slides on my low E.... Took 2 weeks for it heal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted November 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 You can see a faint pattern, but it's mostly smooth looking. My other fingers look worn too, but not smooth.........calluses on the remaining digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zamfir Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 After a lot of practicing, rehearsing, and gigging.......I've worn the finger print of my left hand index finger. Is this normal? It happens. Especially if you have dry skin. You ever lay off the playing for a long enough period, and/or moisturize your hands with a decent lotion, to see if it'll come back? I see it a lot with a significant minority of manual laborers (construction, restaurant workers, dry cleaners), but especially elderly folk, and especially Iranians. I have been wondering what the hell elderly Iranians from all walks of life do to their hands. The print will often still be there after increasing age/abuse, but some of them are a real pain in the ass to fingerprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members db. Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 After a lot of practicing, rehearsing, and gigging.......I've worn the finger print of my left hand index finger. Is this normal? This is normal, but you might have some trouble if you need fingerprints for a new job, government position, teacher, etc. They'll bounce your fingerprint results back.

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted November 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 It didn't help that all of my fingers.....in the area where I fret normally.....the skin had peeled off. Not a full fledged blister.....but similar.....no pain at all. So I was playing on fresh under the skin, skin. Instead of my well worn outer later. I had been avoiding the lotion and stuff.....cause I'm a man.....kidding....I was afraid using lotion and things would prevent my calluses from forming.

Lotion won't stop the calluses forming, in my experience. If your hands are dry, what lotion will do is make your skin healthier and better able to fight off cracking or infection. If it's good enough for Norwegian sailing manly men, it's good enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
