I am currently a pre-med student and want to be a Surgeon. Right now I am learning the guitar and have concerns about the calluses developing on my fingers. As a surgeon, I will need to have feeling in my fingers. If I continue to play for a few more years, will the calluses go away when I ultimately stop playing in medical school? Will feeling in my fingertips be restored?
Even thick calluses will disappear fairly quickly if you stop playing.
