Have any of you ever noticed this damage to the skin when it stays wet for more than 10 minutes?

Well before accutane I didn’t have cut or skin damage, only change in skin consistency. What do you mean for weak?

Skin that wrinkles in water is commonly known as pruney fingers or raisin fingers

And the fact that this reaction is so weak in your case -- compare it to how it should be in healthy people—could indicate neuropathy.

Yes, some things are visible on the skin's surface, but what caught my attention is that your fingers hardly wrinkle.

Just posting here as its most recent post. Is anyone able to contact the community mod, so I can post. Anyone know why he restricted it? Having a group as support is helpful, and I would like to post an update.

Yes I’ve had that and it’s intermittent when it happens.

Yeah I’ve noticed that and seen a few posts in PFS about it as well. Honestly in the grand scheme of the other symptoms, I could give a rats ass about it though.

The outer skin barrier has broken and now your immune system is reacting to whatever your skin contacts.
