Why do fingers and toes get wrinkly and change color after a dip in a pool or a bath?

Key Points: 
  • Why do fingers and toes get wrinkly and change color after a dip in a pool or a bath?
  • – Raymond Y., age 12, Bothell, Washington
    Why do fingers and toes get wrinkly and change color after a dip in a pool or a bath?
  • But researchers back in the 1930s discovered that in people with nerve damage in their fingers, the post-bath wrinkles didn’t form.
  • So, if it isn’t swelling due to water, then what is behind pruny fingers and toes after a long swim?

A nerve signal for narrower blood vessels

    • It also automatically controls the expansion and contraction of your blood vessels.
    • Typically, temperature, medications or what you eat or drink can cause your blood vessels to expand or contract.
    • Nerve fibers send a message about lower salt levels to your brain, and the autonomic nervous system responds by constricting the blood vessels.
    • This constriction of blood vessels also causes the skin to become paler – it’s the opposite of what happens when your skin gets redder when you get into a really hot bath, due to your blood vessels dilating.

An advantage to wrinkled fingers or toes

    • Researchers have found that wrinkled skin has added grip underwater in comparison to unwrinkled skin.
    • It makes walking along an underwater surface easier, with less likelihood of slipping.
    • We’re interested in skin analyses that can be done to help forensic investigators after a crime or disaster.
    • Prolonged immersion in water makes skin more likely to break, but this weakening can take weeks to occur.
