Aquagenic keratoderma
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Aquagenic keratoderma, also known as acquired aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma, [1] transient reactive papulotranslucent acrokeratoderma, [1] aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma, [1] and aquagenic wrinkling of the palms,[2] is a skin condition characterized by the development of white papules on the palms after water exposure.[2]:215 The condition causes irritation of the palms when touching certain materials after being wet, e.g., paper, cloth.
An association with cystic fibrosis has been suggested.[3]
