We have determined that his foot was just wet for too long in his boot as he helped his daddy wash equipment for farming and water sat in his boot for several hours. His foot is fine now. I needed to let some time pass before asking a question here. Thanks so much for your help!

Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
It's good to know that the symptom has improved.
You are right as that wrinkling was due to prolonged exposure to water(also known as washer man feet).
I would request you to close the discussion and rate it.
I shall be glad to answer if you have any doubt in future.
