Is it possible to lose fingerprint




















You quickly run over to the machine, input your id, and slam your finger on the fingerprint scanner. Nothing happens.

You lift your finger for it to rescan. Again, nothing happens. What is the issue? What has happened to your fingerprint? The answer is annoying and somewhat problematic. Your fingerprints are as unique as you. They can distinguish you from another nurse or patient, and they can be used as identifiers to get a license or quickly obtain a medication. I have no fingerprint please help me my email address is tarundsj gmail.

I am unable to get my aadhar due to my fingerprints not scanning. I have tried 2 times. I have only 2 fingerprints! I worked at a clinic when they got a new time clock that used fingerprints to clock in and out.

It rarely worked for me even though I registered all 10 fingers. My solution was to take a photo of the clock when I arrived and left. One year later I applied for work at a psychiatric facility and needed a fingerprint check done.

I had a good work history locally, so the employer waived that rather than paying for a DNA test, which law enforcement said would be the next option. Very extreme. Selena, I just had my fingerprints done again and apparently they grew back! The guy doing them told me that they could grow back, but also that technology for scanning prints has improved.

He was also more experienced at getting prints. I had them all this time. I assume this is the reason my prints have gone away. I also know there are several diseases which result in disappearing prints. Betty, yes, playing piano and organ can definitely rub our prints away.

As can typing or stone mason work. My husband recently worked on pavers around a pool and lost his. I have the same issue. For every job it takes me a couple of months to start because of having partial prints a few of my fingers and pinkies have none. I cant applly visa off usa and eu and many countrirs. I too have lost my fingerprints in the last three years. In I made my UIAI and that time my fingerprints were taken, but now when I was scanned at a place none of my fingerprints were matched.

I have never undergone chemotherapy for any malignancy, however , I am on antidiabetic and antihypertensive therapy for the last 6 years. So if there's any pressure at all [on the scanner], the print just tends to smear. How have people intentionally changed or "disappeared" their fingerprints? There are many documented cases of intentional fingerprint mutilation, but generally those involve pretty severe damage to the skin—more specifically between the generating layer, where the template of the fingerprint survives, and the upper layer, the epidermis.

Pretty much any cut or burn that goes deeper than the outer layer of the skin can affect the fingerprint pattern in a permanent way. But even with permanent scarring, the new scar becomes a unique aspect of that person's fingerprint. The first case of documented fingerprint mutilation was in , by Theodore "Handsome Jack" Klutis, who led a gang called the College Kidnappers. When the police finally caught up with him, Klutis went for his gun and the police returned fire, killing him.

When they compared his postmortem fingerprints, police found that each of his prints had been cut by a knife, resulting in semicircular scars around each fingerprint. Although it was glorified in the media, it was an amateur job; the procedure left more than enough ridge detail to identify him.

Fingerprint authentication has been used in one form or another since the 19th century. As a result, most people are already aware that fingerprints can be used as a unique identifier. That translates into less resistance to adopt fingerprint scanners as a means of verifying identity.

On a purely psychological level, people are accustomed to using their hands to open doors, enter passcodes, or manipulate keys, so placing their thumb on a scanner comes more naturally to them than some other forms of biometric verification. This familiarity also comes from popular culture.

Thanks to television and film, most people recognize this technology while the other modalities have just started to become more common. Despite the ubiquity of fingerprint scans, other forms of biometric authentication, like iris recognition, facial recognition , or voice recognition, are becoming more common and well-accepted by consumers.

Many mobile phone users, for instance, are already using facial recognition for their lockscreen security measure instead of fingerprint scans. The answer is yes. According to a study done on the stability of fingerprints, the ridge pattern on the fingertips of an individual is made before birth.

As children grow, these ridges become more visible and grow apart to form a proper sequence of identification. The reason is due to the skin becoming more and more elastic as time goes by. This means that its genetic biometric pattern can change once the child gets older. Once they are older, the fingerprint will no longer be useful.

After the age of 12, the child has stable fingerprints that last for a long period of time.
