What Could Cause Extreme Wrinkles In Hands?

yes, good afternoon. I have a 13 yr, old nephew that has extremely wrinkled hands. I was wondering if this is something that needs to be checked by a dr and mentioned to his parents? He just spent the weekend with me and I noticed it. I am 58 yrs, old and his hands are more wrinkled than mine.

Hello,

I can understand your concern for extreme wrinkles in hands in your 13 year old nephew.

It is quite common to find wrinkled hands if the kids spend more time in water due to which the hands loses its normal natural mositurization. The dry skin gets wrinkled easily.

So if your nephew has got it recently then there is nothing to be worried about the same.

In case if he has got it form a long period of time then it requires a thorough physical check up. You can meet a dermatologist in that case and get the best suggestions for the same.

In my patients I suggest to apply lot of moisturizing cream for 5-6 time liberally over the wrinkled area.

Hope it helps.
