Dupuytren’s Contracture

Dupuytren's contracture is thickening of the fibrous tissue layer under the skin of palms, fingers, and hands which leads to curving of the finger. It is caused due to the excessive production of collagen which gets deposited under the skin. Hereditary factors, excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, seizures, and increased age may increase the risk of developing the condition.

Symptoms:

• Lumps and nodules in the palm
• Difficulty in straightening the finger
• Contracture of nodules
