Brief Answer:
not a disease

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
It is simple wrinkling of hand as your skin is more sensitive to water.
It is not a disease or symptoms if any internal disease. It is a normal process.
Just apply aloevera gel twice a day and take vitamin E capsule daily for a month. You Will get some relief.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
