Abstract

Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP) is a condition characterized by oedema, confluent white papules and excessive wrinkling of the palms after few minutes exposure to water. The phenomenon may be associated with pain, numbness and pruritus1,2. It was first noticed and described in 1974 in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) by a paediatrician R.B. Elliott3.
