My hand skin wrinkles too easily.
In the past, washing dishes with bare hands for a long time (10 to 20 minutes)
The skin on my hand has become wrinkled.
These days, just 1 to 2 minutes of contact with water makes my hands like this.
Why does my hand skin suddenly become so wrinkled and soft so easily?
It still takes a long time to return to normal~
Oh, what could it be?
Why does the skin become wrinkled?
According to YTN Science
When the skin on the hand is in contact with water for a long time, the epidermis swells and becomes wrinkled.
The epidermis absorbs water well.
It is said that the dermis does not absorb water well.
The volume of subcutaneous fat and dermis remains unchanged.
Only the volume of the epidermis increases, causing the skin to become wrinkled.
Even if the skin on the face, arms, and legs is in contact with water for a long time
Why doesn't it become wrinkled?
There are extra sebaceous glands developed.
It is because the oil layer that protects the skin is maintained.
Even though my finger didn't touch the water
If wrinkles form on the hands, it could be an autoimmune disease.
When I don't touch the water, my hands don't wrinkle, but even a brief contact with water makes them start to become wrinkled. I don't know what's going on.
