Cn the dermal ridges on finger stretch/enlarge permanently?had pipjoint in coban+antiinflam cream 1 month 4 reinjury sprain did also massage&stretchin

The pip joint: Creases on top of the finger can go "missing" for a time if the joint is swollen and stiff. The skin there is very flexible and if the jointis bent a little or the joint is full the creases look different. The creases dont really strethc they just look different until time passesif and when / after the mechanics normalize.
