I guess i need to explain my theory .What is Dupuytrens & ledderhose? I think it is the tiny black lines you see at the nail beds of your fingers & toes..It is Fungal and invades the nail bed & nail fold daily..What you see is thickening of the skin at the nail bed,that is untreated for many years 5 /10/20 years, you may have seen a change in the shape of the nails over the years.I think most who have this are chronic nail biters & toe nail pickers...Ripping the nail beds & puncture of the nail fold daily.I also think the skin you see in the hand is the nail fold tissue that has gone under the nail bed with the fungus and is growing right under your skin....Can you cure or reverse this?I hope so,i have found a way to pull these fine lines out of the nail beds,killing the fungus with a powder,and by keeping the powder under the finger nails & toenails helps protect the nail bed from daily invasion.The only defense you have against this is a healthy tight line where the nail bed meets the finger nail,most with dupuytrens have never had this because they bite the nails so low..Woman who have Dupuytrens & get fake nails should stop today.The nails can not breath & some fungus may come from the nail salon.Its a start & it seems to be working on myself...I also think Guillaume Dupuytren had it himself ,and wanted to cure it .He would look at so many people to see what they had in common with him....The only reason i think this is from this statement--------- Dupuytren’s name has been applied as an eponym to at least 12 diseases, fractures, operations, and instruments. He hated to write, and all his “literature” was recorded and published by his students in the local medical journals as “Leçons orales de clinique chirurgicale de Dupuytren.” For his time, he had a scientific and inquiring mind and was a caring physician who visited his patients every day. On ward rounds, he dressed distinctively in a green coat, white vest, blue trousers, and a small green cloth cap, which he had designed himself. The picture of this domineering, all-confident surgeon was marred by his almost constant “nervous habit of gnawing the nails of his left thumb and index finger” . His assistants were in awe of him

Yes you must play the piano alot-it is a constant transfer from the keys into your fingers..try a soak of baking soda paste on the fingers & toes for about 1 hour & see what comes out....It could enter from the toes

I don't have "tiny black lines" even with a microscope. I have never chewed my nails. Are you maybe suggesting this includes Peyronie's disease, also?

I found out mine was a fungus from soaking my hands & feet in white vinegar for 2 months--i was getting better & my feet would stop hurting..I could see change & release of the skin on my hands....white vinegar will make it feel better & kill some ,but will not cure you..
