RESUMO
Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms was first described in 1974. This review summarises the present knowledge. Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms is most often associated with cystic fibrosis, but several other associated conditions are described. Patients report of pruritus, pain and discomfort in the palms after contact with water, and excessive wrinkling is visible. The prognosis is good, and symptoms often decrease in adulthood. A positive water exposure test will support the diagnosis, and the patient should be referred for dermatological investigation and genetic test for cystic fibrosis should be offered.
