Aquagenic Wrinkling of the Palm: A Rare Diagnostic Clue of Cystic Fibrosis and the Response to CFTR-Modulating Therapy.

Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms (AWP), also known as aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma, is an uncommon dermatosis characterized by transient translucent whitish papules, edema, and hyper-wrinkling of the palms and soles shortly after water immersion. Approximately up to 80% of cases reported are associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and up to 25% with CF carriers. We present the case of a 16-year-old male who complains of new-onset symmetrical edematous wrinkling on his palms associated with brief water exposure.
