Default Fingertip care for left paw

Need some advise for my fingertips (left). Fairly new player but have good calouses with no pain. I,ll play a couple of times during the day for about 30-45minutes. The problem is that after a short while the tips of my fingers take on an identation from the strings. The indentation remains even overnight. This causes string buzz from adjacent strings because the finger is deeper on the string, if that makes sense.

I have tried an emory board to smooth out the very tip which seems to help some. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Default Fingertips

The grooves will go away as you play more and the calluses harden. Like anything else, Practice, Practice, Practice.

You'll get there.
