Hello,

Excessive contact with water can cause wrinkling in hand and is common among people involved in washing and cleaning. It will settle once you avoid direct contact with water.

You can use gloves while washing. You can attach a picture in the follow up query to make a possible diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
