Overview
Aquagenic keratoderma is a skin condition characterized by the development of white papules on the palms after water exposure.[1] 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.[2]
