Subject: "Wrinkles" on guitar? i need it soon

Question
I have these indented wrinkles on my acoustic guitar. Is it natural...that is all i need to know...oh wait also...

1 is it natural?

2 can i stop it ?
3 IT SEEMS 2 SPREAD!!!
4 It is all on the back!
5 I polish it every month or 2 months
6 guitar world guys said its natural...
7 I dont believe him...
8 you are the expert.
9 i need the answer reall soon!!!

Answer
Hmm... Well...

1 Depending on the humidity where the guitar is stored, it could be natural.. Though it is highly unlikely unless it's been wet (with anything other than polish)

2 I would suggest a humidifier made especially for acoustics. You can find them here...

Also, are the "wrinkles" actually raised? I hope I've helped. Thanks for your question
