Any ideas on these symptoms with the fingers?

Hi, wondering what the cause of this sort of shriveling that is going on with these fingers? This doesn't look like Raynaud's Phenomenon, where we typically see red/white/blue fingers. These fingers (below) have some normal color, but seem shriveled in a manner inconsistent with them having been submerged in water (these lines are vertical as opposed to irregular/circular)

I have this going on with my hands and seems to be an overreaction to slight cold or stress. And I can rule out dehydration as well, as I drink 3 liters of water a day easily.

      I did just check kidney values and the eGFR was between 60-70 and creatinine was normal. The PCP thinks it is "stress".
