Prune fingers?

I know it's a bit odd? I have hypo and have been well medicated (as much as you can be with hypo) but I can't seem to get rid of prune finger tips? It's like I have been in the shower? Usually when I'm cold which is most the time in winter. When I wake up in the morning my fingers are warm and no wrinkles as soon as I get cooled down, that's it. Anyone else have this? Any advice to stop it?

Carojay, mine have improved considerably in the months after being optimally replaced. Right hand looks 'normal' but left hand is still quite wrinkly. Sorry no idea how to improve it other than making sure you're optimallly replaced.

Not what you're looking for?
