We used to joke here about financing our medical treatments through crime as we didn’t have fingerprints! Anyone but me have trouble using their phone’s fingerprint recognition to sign in?My mother had severe rheumatoid arthritis, and her fingerprints just disappeared. She used to laugh about it and say she'd make the perfect criminal, if she could only walk.

Very unusual is the loss of fingerprints on many of the fingers; police departments report it's very rare for fingerprints to be obliterated, yet nearly 40% of CFS patients have some fingerprint obliteration, and 10% cannot be fingerprinted whatsoever. This appears to be related to a periarteritis secondary to fibroblasts congregating in the distal circulation. Cheney suspects that CFS patients, mimicking in many ways a scurvy process, might have scurvy contributing to fingerprint obliteration.
i think you are right, because my vertical wrinkles disappear after a bath, and disappear after the night. It only comes back after I am awake for hours...Yes I’ve had this on and off for a while. I’d heard mild dehydration causes pruney fingers too which would make sense with a lot of us having issues in that area.
