They are called "calluses" and every guitarist has them!.!.!.!.drummers get them too!.
We guitarists get them on our fingertips!.!.!.!.
It takes while after you have the blisters fade away!.!.!.then your callusesse build right there!. This is natural part of being a guitarist!. Hope this helps!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What you have to do is practice less but still practice every day at 15 min!. at a time
Do this 7 days a week!. You will still progress, although slowly, but at least, your fingers stay flexible and the callouses will form normally!.

Another thing is to put light gauge strings on your guitar!. This will facilitate your playing and ease your pain greatly!.

Another techique is to also, tune your guitar 1/2 tone down!. This will also help until you get your fingers good and strong!.
