Does anyone know of a skin condition where the hands are very wrinkled?

My sister has always hand old looking hands (she's only 23). We used to have a young neighbor with the same skin condition. Does anyone know what I am talking about or what it's called?


Another thing is that she was told it envolves her having extra layers of skin.- Thanks -Does anyone know of a skin condition where the hands are very wrinkled?

I used to play with the wrinkles on the backs of her hands (in her 50s) and she said ';You just wait. You have them, too.'; I'm in my 40s and I am at the beginning stage of it. I moisturize like CRAZY!
Have you tried Bag Balm ?

She needs to do this now or when she is 43, her hands may look 83
It is a possibility that the wrinkled hands are a result of the hormone androgen levels which may inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and thereby reduce the oil production of the oil glands. This, however, would require various tests to confirm. Wrinkled fingers may also result because the keratin-laden cornified epithelium of hands and feet take up water; the swollen keratin causes the wrinkling. Skin on other parts of our bodies, which is thinner and doesn't have nearly as thick a stratum corneum (the dead layer that is mostly keratin), and doesn't wrinkle. Thestratum corneum is by far the thickest on palms and soles because the keratin is needed in places where the epidermis gets the most wear.There is a condition called Ictheosos. Depending on the type of gene abnormality that causes ichthyosis, the skin can show different patterns of flaking. In most cases of ichthyosis vulgaris, for example, skin will flake over the majority of the body, but not on the inside surfaces of joints, in the groin area or on the face. However, this does not resemble the signs that you describe.


Hope this helps

the extra layers of skin is Psoriasis but it usually manifest as a scaly look ( you can peel scales of skin off and they grow back within hours or days )
Exposure to dish water can cause a condition called ';Dermatitis'; and is treated with applications of Eucerine cream.
