Definition
Wrinkles are creases in the skin.

Considerations

Most wrinkles are associated with aging changes in skin. Aging of the skin and related structures (hair and nails) is a natural process. Nothing can be done to decrease the rate of skin aging, but many environmental factors will increase the rate.

Frequent exposure to sunshine results in premature skin wrinkling and increased pigmentation (liver spots). It also increases the likelihood of skin cancer. Exposure to cigarette smoke is another environmental factor that increases wrinkling of the skin.

Besides wrinkles, other skin changes may include liver spots (pigmented areas). The hair and nails also change with aging, including graying of the hair, hair loss, and brittleness of the nails.


Common Causes
Wrinkles can develop because of:

Sun exposure
Normal aging changes in the skin
Smoking

Home Care
To minimize skin wrinkling, stay out of the sun as much as possible. When you are outside, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. If you smoke, stop smoking.


Call your health care provider if

A spot on the skin has more than one color, has an irregular shape, or is raised
You notice any new or changing pigmented lesions
Wrinkles are not usually a concern unless they occur at an early age. Consult your health care provider if you think that your skin is becoming excessively wrinkled at an early age. A referral to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is sometimes appropriate.

What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your doctor may ask detailed questions about your wrinkles, such as:

When did you first notice that the skin was abnormally wrinkled?
Has it changed in any manner?
Has a skin spot become painful or does it bleed?
What other symptoms are occurring at the same time?
