I'd do more than one finger. I did 4 fingers on each hand.

Each finger showed slightly different wrinkling degrees. Most of the wrinkling was on the left hand. And I had a tiny wrinkle on my right ring finger, but none of the other 4 fingers on the right.

I don't think one finger is a good test.

I went with the middle three of each hand. I can't see much point in a third go around, though I like the lotion in the tool box.

Thanks. Should I cover my fingers with tape ?

I don't think covering the fingers is necessary.

Someone here can try covered vs uncovered.

I would wait a couple of days however between tests.
my fingers that wrinkled showed signs for a couple of days.

My right hand was giving me Tinel's sign when I did it. So I have been wearing my brace at night. I plan on retesting that right hand when the buzzing is no longer present. Should be in a few more days. It might give a different result?

And wrinkling indicates no nerve damage?

Yes, wrinkling is the desired result. No wrinkling suggests nerve damage according to the study.

Well, I guess it worked for me. No wrinkling at all and I already know I have nerve damage...it reminds me all of the time.
