Answers:

The outer layer of your skin absorbs water. The lower layers are tightly attached. When the surface area of the outer layer increases due to absorbing water, the only way to compensate for the extra surface area is to pucker and wrinkle.



same reason your hands wrinkle after washing dishes for a long time, without rubber gloves. outer layer of skin expands when wet for extended periods of time.



cause they have foreskin on them,
