What Causes Wrinkled Skin On Fingers While Washing Hands For Few Minutes?
Hi! I noticed that while I was washing my hands for only 2 minutes, my fingers got very wrinkly as if I was in the shower for half an hour! This exactly happened when i was washing a couple of dishes for about 3 minutes. I m really surprised because normally my fingers get wrinkly only after at least 20 minutes deeped in hot water. Please note that I didn t make use of any new or unusual soap. I ve been using these products for a long time now but this happened only today for the first time. Is there any explanation? Could MDMA use be relevant to this incident? Thank you

Hi,
Washing hands and long time exposure to cold water causes constriction of peripheral blood vessels. This leads to reduction of the size of finger tips which show wrinkles.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
