A case of aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma with involvement of periungual area of the hand

Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma (ASA) is a rare form of palmoplantarkeratoderma occurring after short-term contact with water. Although ASAusually involves the palmar region, there are also several cases with theinvolvement of dorsum of hand and sole of the feet. We described 15-yearold girl who had white keratodermic plaques observed on the flexor side ofdistal phalanxes especially the periungual area after a 10 min contact withwater. Our patient represents a rare case of ASA with the involvement ofperiungual region of the fingers.
