A member asked:

Are hands fully grown by the time you are 18 or do fingers keep getting thicker? my hands don't look 'manly' and i am worried.

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Anatomy: I am not sure why you are 'worried'. Your body is your body and changing it would be unhealthy. The use of the word 'manly' tells me more about the state of your mental health rather than the physical body you live in. Noses, feet and hands do continue to grow into adulthood.
