One more idea in the midst of all these good idea. I sweat when I play. My fingers even sweat. I don't use any lotion the day of a gig so my hands can actually dry out. But I sweat and sometimes my finger tips get softer due to the moisture from really getting into playing. When that happens, my fingers hurt a lot more than if they are dry. In fact, its tough to play a two hour set if this is going on. I have great callouses too.
