When i extend my wrist by stretching or reaching, it feels like my skin is tearing off, even when i rub with a towel to dry off.right wrist no injuries?

I assume there's no swelling or redness. Possibilities would be overuse syndrome, tendinitis, or osteoarthritis. Carpal tunnel syndrome is unlikely. If discomfort persists despite resting your wrist, consult your MD or an orthopedic specialist.
