Hands Become Wrinkly On Having Exposure To Water, Get White Blotches, Painful. What Could Be The Cause?

When having exposure to water, especially during showers, my hands become over wrinkly, have white blotches and become painful, what could be the cause and/or diagnosis? It has been happening for about 2-3 months and is getting progressively worse and more painful.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the wrinkly on having exposure to water, get white blotches, painful.

It can be due to simple dryness sensitivity to water in some persons. The best part of your thing is to moisturize properly.

I suggest you to apply bland moisturizing cream for 4-5 time stop keep it moisturized. Take antihistamine such as loratadine or cetrizine if itching is present. Do not apply any mixed cream or mixed ointments as it causes further aggravation of the problem.
Till that time do not pinch, pop or scratch the area. Do not get exposed to extremes of environment and protect yourself from heat and humidity.

Take care.
