Your fingers 'prune' the exact same way each time, study suggests

Summary

78% Informative

Researchers at Binghamton University found the exact pattern of wrinkles on your fingertips is unchanging.

The wrinkles were thought to occur as a result of water entering the skin by osmosis and causing our fingertips to swell.

The researchers theorized that the wrinkles would form the same way each time, as the blood vessels that constrict to form them don't move around within the fingers.
