Man don't put any stupid glue or something else on your fingers!! It's ridiculous to GLUE your fingers! REALLY! Just practice and it will be gone with time!
I felt some pain in my fingers when i was starting on classical guitar but it was gone very fast since i played every day. Also - you might be having problem of OVER-PLAYING. You started only in June so take it easy on long hours until your fingers heal and get some strength. later you'll be able to play the whole day - but be careful in the beginning! Good luck! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

This is because as your fingers develop callouses it starts from the outer layer of skin then works its way in. So in other words as your callouses develop your body keeps growing weak skin layers which keep getting shredded off. As the callous gets deeper the lower skin layers get tougher... and your fingers will grow tougher skin to cover them. Eventually your finger tips will be hard but not have that dry flaky aspect to them.
When I was a teen I had to go to the Dermatologist and I happened to just be learning guitar and asked him this very question. That is what he told me to the best of my memory. Hope it helps!

Its probably just a callouse, no big deal, my finger tips do it occasionally but after awhile your fingers adjust and there is no problem
