Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma (ASA) is a rare kind of an acquired keratoderma that predominantly affects adolescents and young females. The etiology is unknown. Clinically, ASA is characterized by transient edematous white papules and plaques occurring a few minutes after exposure to water. It is most commonly localized on the palms, but may also affect the plantar area and dorsum of the hand. Despite the female predominance mentioned in the literature, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of six male patients diagnosed with ASA in our clinic.

Keywords: Aquagenic syringeal acrokeratoderma, male, dorsum of the hand
