- Skin problems ( pigment disorders, wrinkles, loss of volume )
Collagen loss causes wrinkles to appear. When you are younger, protein-based fibres are more readily available. It is, however, possible to lose collagen too soon.
- Vascular problems ( prominent veins, peripheral arterial disease )
Veins beneath the skin surface become more visible as you age because your skin thins naturally. Decreased blood circulation and a raised blood pressure level can also cause veins to appear more prominently on your hands. Moreover, hands with protruding veins can give the appearance of older skin.
- Nerve problems ( Carpal tunnel syndrome )
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neurological condition. It majorly affects the hands and wrists.
Tingling and numbness in the fingers and hands are common symptoms. Dryness of the skin in the fingers is also a possibility. Besides, the skin in the painful area may appear discoloured, pinker or redder than usual or appear blue or mottled in some instances.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative inflammatory joint condition that causes pain and stiffness. It usually takes place in one of three places:
Your thumb’s base, where it meets your wrist

The finger’s middle joint
People with osteoarthritis in their thumbs’ basilar joints may notice that the base of their thumb appears “knobby” or “squared off.” You may also develop bumps on the fingers.
