I know this may be odd. I don't even know how I would google this problem haha. My finger tips look like I've been in the bath for awhile right? Why? They've been like this for 2 days. I thought maybe my hands were dry so I've been using this specific lotion for extremely dry skin. No change. My finger tips hurt. Like they are very tender. I have no idea what it could be.

I just looked at my finger tips and they look the same but no pain lol. Maybe we're dehydrated?

I have eczema on my hands and that's how mine look when they're healing. Mine was caused by all the detergents and soaps I use daily.

Mine look like that too. Weird.

I haven't changed any cleaning supplies or handled rough materials. I haven't really done anything out of the ordinary. These symptoms suddenly appeared yesterday morning. They are very sore especially when I touch anything. I drink a Ton of water normally. I'll be calling my doctor tomorrow if it's still there.

Could be pinched nerves.

This may be a weird one but have you cut up I believe it was butternut squash recently

Pp no I haven't lol. Does that cause something like this though I'm curious?

Butternut squash does do something to your hands....it's the squashes defense mechanism. It is weird.

When my sister got strep about a year ago, her fingers did this. They started peeling a week or so later. Strangest thing ever. She didn't feel any symptoms of strep but apparently was walking around with it.

Mine get this way if I get dehydrated.

Not trying to scare you, but I found this online:
Wrinkled Fingertips or Pruney Fingers without any indication of the hand being in water for a long time then it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition like diabetes, dehydration, or thyroid disorder.
Get your thyroid checked!
Edit: Vitamin D and B12 deficiency has also been shown to cause Wrinkled Fingertips.

I have a thyroid disorder and my hands are always wrinkly... like an old lady ?
deleted-user·
@rlh Mine are too, always have been. I've never had my thyroid checked though.

I've heard when fingertips are wrinkled it's a sign of thyroid issues. Good luck!
deleted-user·
My fingertips are wrinkled and I have hypothyroidism but they're never painful.

Can also be a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome

You may want to hydrate well and see how they look

Thank you. I've made an appt. they're gunna check my thyroid too. My mom and grandmother has thyroid disorder. Is it genetic?
deleted-user·
Yes it is genetic so many people in my family have thyroid issues including my father
deleted-user·
Yes OP it is genetic. Every female on my maternal side has a thyroid disorder as do I.

Try rubbing hydrocortisone on your fingertips, it helps almost immediately! It might relieve some of the pain or burning/itching sensation if you have any. Lotion always made it worse for me.

My finger tips are like this and I know I don't drink near enough water. I don't have any pain though, that's odd. ?
