What causes wrinkled finger tips all the time?

[chrissybill]

I am a 27 yr old female and i have noticed that the skin on my fingertips is wrinkled all the time(like i just got out of the bath).  I noticed it several weeks age.  I don't think i am dehydrated.  I put lotion on everynight and have for many years.  What could be causing them to stay wrinkled?

I wish your post were more recent so many of your symptoms are exactly in line with mine ... I would love to know the outcome of your endeavors as we are still trying to figure it out -
Thank you for your sharing this, comforting to know you are not the only one

Hi -

I have this problem too recently, and I am wondering if it is due to a corn sensitivity (which I also have). I have read the story of some other people online who have a corn allergy, and one of the symptoms was tiny blisters on the fingers after ingesting something with corn in it for those that mentioned that problem as well on this thread.

I noticed my fingertips being wrinkly today, and I just remembered that I ate something with corn starch in it last night - I wonder if it is related?

There are many hidden sources of corn in food - it is put into so many things. Apparently it has a protein in it similar to gluten - it is called "Zein".
Worth checking it out/experimenting with anyhow.

I had come across some information once that mentioned this wrinkled finger pads, as a symptom to gluten intolerance.
It makes sense for the vegetarians and it makes sense for those that have had a baby recently.. as the condition can be worsened with stress.

Hi I have had same symptoms and explored it endlessly. Came up with over stressed adrenals. Sugar and caffeine aggravate it. It definitely improved for a while but back as bad as ever. Stress of course a huge trigger. Try cutting out all sugar and caffeine and take a good vit B complex and also reducing carbohydrates as in refined ones and see what happens.

I'm really surprised (but relieved) that so many young people are reporting the same wrinkled-finger symptoms I have..

I'm an 82 yrs old female and have indulged in all the bad habits, unhealthy diets and misbehaviors that are being discussed as the possible cause.  But mine just flared up about 2 yrs ago after 10-days on one of the 'new' super antibiotics for a bacterial infection.   My health is generally good,except for the wrinkled fingers.  Was on blood-pressure meds & cholesterol meds for nearly 10 yrs, but BP has been in the normal range for the past yr, and my triglycerides are still higher than they should be - but I quit the statins & BP meds 6 months ago.  Still have the wrinkled fingers...

So how many of you have taken that one-size-fits-all antibiotic?  It's a really huge white pill, about the size of the last knuckle on my little finger.  

It's hard to be very polite to my doctor when he brushes off my concerns with a remark about my age

Hello, everyone. I am 27 y old, breastfeeding, and for the last two months I had the same problem, wrinkled fingertips. I did a little research, and... there is solution. We all have omega 3 fatty acid deficiency. Two weeks ago, I bought one pack of, so called, fish oil, and it helped me. My fingers look normal again :-) Omega 3 fatty acids are generally rear in foods (except fish), and babies take a lot of it through milk. So, I hope I helped with this comment. Sorry for my bad english.
