What Is Skin Tenting
Skin tenting shows how well your body holds water. Pinch the skin on the back of your hand. It should snap back fast. Slow return means dehydration. This can happen from not drinking enough water or illnesses like fever and diarrhea. Older people often have less stretchy skin, which can affect results. Skin tenting helps check hydration quickly. Use it with other signs for a better view. Stay aware of dehydration risks and ways to stay hydrated.
