Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma: Report of a case with dermoscopic findings

Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis - structural or functional defects of stratum corneum during adolescence, primary disease of the sweat ducts, increased sodium concentration in the skin, thereby increasing the water-retention capacity of stratum corneum or a reaction...

Description
Summary:Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis - structural or functional defects of stratum corneum during adolescence, primary disease of the sweat ducts, increased sodium concentration in the skin, thereby increasing the water-retention capacity of stratum corneum or a reaction to drugs such as rofecoxib, celecoxib, and aspirin. [4],[5] The reported associations included cystic fibrosis (CF), asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, palmar erythema, and malignant melanoma. Treatment modalities include 20% aluminum chloride solution, botulinum toxin injections, iontophoresis, antihistamines, pomade containing 5% salicylic acid, a mixture of mometasone furoate and petroleum jelly, and a cream containing 20% urea.
