Hey there im new to this forum!
I play an instrument where i have to use the skin just under my fingernails and through constant contact it gets really sore and hurts when I play.
Is there anyway to 'harden' this skin so it can take much more constant force?
Many Thanks!:)
Try surgical spirit, and keep practicing as it will harden eventually ( i've been learning to play the electric guitar for a while now ):)

im not sure what its called, but you used to be able to get a nail polish like product that you could paint on your fingertips and it would harden kinda like a glue etc. It also peeled off afterwards but gradually harden your fingertips over time.
i'll try find out the name for you!
My daughter used to use surgical spirit to harded her feet when she was ballet dancing on pointe. So Calla Lily's idea for using on her fingers is brillant.
surgical spirit. xx
And here's me always trying to soften the skin on my fingers!:rolleyes:
