hello there
your symptoms sound like they are caused by the friction and pressure that you apply on your index finger. have you checked if you have any cuts or open wounds on that finger? you can apply some moisturising lotion just to soft the skin and cover the finger with a band aid. try not to out to much pressure on the fingers when lifting or take some help.
