Hey,
I am a newbie and have developed calluses on my fingers. The one on my index finger is especially thick and keeps getting caught on the the thinnner B and E strings.
Shoudl I trya and cut it off of the finger or just let it heal over?

Calluses are a good thing. DON'T cut them off.
If they are 'getting caught' on strings, lightly file them smooth with an emery board or, even better, a glass fingernail file (same applies to fingernails).
Good luck, have fun.
