However, there is a catch: they do not change as we grow old, but they can be affected by certain external conditions. A person’s fingerprints usually form in the 17th week of pregnancy. These prints are set in stone before we are even born. As a person grows, the prints get bigger while retaining the same pattern. Essentially, the prints just scale up gradually. Fingerprints are permanent, but old age, specific jobs, skin diseases, adermatoglyphia, cancer treatment, cuts, and burns can affect/alter them. While some changes can be temporary, others can be permanent, and even criminals have tried to alter their fingerprints. But were they really successful? Do watch the video till the end to find out!\n
