Apparently, if you don't have nerve damage, you fingers will wrinkle up. Very interesting.

This woman did have another punch biopsy after that and it was indeed positive.
Just tried it but only left it on for five minutes (no wrinkling). DIdn't realize you have to leave it on for 30 min and cover with tegaderm?? tape.
