Aquagenic wrinkling of the palms is a rare condition characterised by transient oedematous skin of the palms after contact with water. It is most commonly observed in patients with cystic fibrosis or carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene. It is an exaggeration of the normal finger wrinkling that occurs when fingers are soaked in water for a prolonged period.
