Splitting my finger!!!

[In the woods]

Ok hang with me on this one.  It might be difficult to explain.  In this recent two year slump from good golf that I am having, I have started to split my middle finger on my left hand from the way I am gripping the club.  I am left handed as my profile says.  It will literally split from almost the end of my finger to the base of my nail.  I can move my hands around, adjust the way I am holding the club, and yet it still will do it.  I can put less pressure, more pressure, take the finger off completely(NOT RECOMMENDED), change to a complete different grip all together, and yet still the split. Would this be a pressure problem or more along the lines of an entire grip problem?  This is really aggrivating me because no one can seem to tell me what I am doing, all of a sudden.

What grip do you all use?  What have you found to be the most effective way of setting your grip, tips and tricks of the trade?

super glue your cut..my buddy does it before every round we play together and he says it doesnt bother him anynore

This was a problem I used to have, too. I used super glue for a few weeks, and haven't had a problem since. I was spending A LOT of time at the range when this happened, too. I felt like it was the weight of the club on the downswing pulling the skin on my right middle finger (right handed swing).

When I cut my nails too short I rip the edges down a long ways and it kills. I would cut tape the ends up to stop the ripping. Now I just try to leave my nails a little longer and use a good glove.
