Wrinkle
A wrinkle is a ridge or crease of a surface. It usually refers to folds on
fabric or
clothes, or on the
skin of an organism; the folds are generally random and do not exhibit any repeating pattern. In skin or other foldable material a wrinkle or fold may be permanent if the material is folded the same way each time.
