using fingers for monitoring

i do'nt know if someone has wrote about this(if so i apologize),but i use my ring finger and pinky for monitoring sugars,i have favored my right hand since i'm a lefty. but i've noticed that my fingers have gotten scarred to the point that i can't use those fingers for testing,i've got the lancet as high as the setting would go,i've put lotion on them, and used the fingers lotion on them,but they still feel scarred and hard like callased,is there something that would fix this?
