Symptoms of Dupuytren's contracture

Dupuytren's contracture mainly affects the ring and little fingers. It's common to have it in both hands at the same time.

It tends to get slowly worse over many months or years.

It's not usually painful, but it can affect how you use your hand.

A hand held out flat with the palm facing upwards. The middle finger is sticking upwards slightly and there's a raised ridge along the palm below it.
It starts with lumps, dimples or ridges on your palm.
