Hi,

The wrinkles that occur in skin after prolonged exposure to water are sometimes referred to as pruney fingers or water aging. This is a temporary skin condition where the skin on the palms of the hand or feet becomes wrinkly.

So this is a natural phenomenon and you need not worry about this as long as they come back to normal. You could wear gloves if you want.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Regards.
