Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma.
A case of a 32-year-old woman with aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma is presented. This case is the eleventh to report this condition. As with previously reported cases, the condition presents in young women and results in edema of the palms with visibly prominent eccrine ducts after brief exposure to water. The patient responded to aluminum chloride applied topically. Prior cases are reviewed.
