Question

How come only your fingers and toes get prune in the shower and nothing else does?

Answer 1

While this is something that I'd love to know, I don't think that this is where this question belongs!

Answer 2

Are you sure theres nothing else Dave?

Answer 3

More pores in fingers and toes for water to get into xx

Answer 4

Your hands and the bottoms of your feet are more "water permeable" than the rest of your body because they have more sweat glands in them but no oil glands. So when you expose them to water, and even more so with hot water, for extended periods, the water will begin to go back in just as it is able to come out. When the skin soaks up enough water, which sometimes isn't very much, it begins to expand and prune.

Weather along with humidity and also a persons age has a lot to do with how quickly the skin becomes waterlogged.

Answer 5

Hey - I've seen other things shrivel up too *wink wink* lol xx
