I have a little issue going on with my fingertips. They seem really dry, or lacking of oil. I started noticing it last winter, especially after a shower. Just the last joint of each finger on both hands. They never get dry and cracked and, after an hour, or so, they feel "normal" again. I've been using CeraVe lotion as recommended by my dermatologist, which seems to help. I know, what's this got to do with guitar!
So here's where the guitar comes in. I'm playing yesterday and after about 20 minutes I'm thinking "man, these strings feel grungy". Can't be, they've only been on a week. Grab another guitar and those strings feel the same way. I look at my fingers, rub them together a little bit, and notice that "just out of the shower" dry feeling. It's not the strings, it's my fingers and that lack of oil.
Anyone ever experience anything like this? Got any suggestions? I brought it up to the dermatologist back in March, who sent me off to see a Rheumatologist. He didn't find anything. I really don't want to start using Finger Ease.
