  • Title: Aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma.
    Author: Yan AC, Aasi SZ, Alms WJ, James WD, Heymann WR, Paller AS, Honig PJ.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2001 Apr; 44(4):696-9. PubMed ID: 11260552.
    Abstract:
    Aquagenic palmoplantar keratoderma is an acquired condition characterized by burning and edema limited to the hands after brief immersion in water. The 3 patients described possess a striking similarity to those with transient reactive papulotranslucent acrokeratoderma. All 3 patients manifested the "hand-in-the-bucket" sign, having presented to a physician with a hand immersed in a bucket of water to more promptly demonstrate the physical findings. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate represents a potentially valuable therapeutic option for this unusual condition.
