My fingers always look like I have just got out of the bath. When they go a bit like prunes...
This started about a year ago. Does anyone else have this or know why? I am 41.

Are you dehydrated? Thyroid issues, diabetes, reynauds.. could be a few things, I'd probably try drinking more water and then have some tests done.

If you stay in water for an extended period of time your fingers will do this.

Mine always have.

Not been in water that's what I mean. It's all day

Mine are the same, permanently pruney. Have no diagnosed conditions other than v low iron and vit d and have been 'borderline' on thyroid tests for years. I just put it down to dehydration (although I do try to drink enough). Not helpful at all I'm afraid!

With me it's definitely dehydration. Really wrinkled up sometimes, it takes a couple of days drinking lots of water for it to go away.

Mine are like this! When I’m cold it’s really noticeable. No idea what causes it really.
