Other reported associations include excessive sweating, Raynaud disease, atopic dermatitis, severe malnutrition, and certain medications such as aspirin and some anti-inflammatory drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers believe the reaction may be related to abnormal sweating and changes in how salt and water move through skin cells. In people with cystic fibrosis, changes involving the <strong>CFTR gene<\/strong>, sweat glands, and water-transport proteins may contribute to the characteristic response.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors can often recognize the condition clinically by placing the hands in water and observing the reaction\u2014the so-called <strong>\u201chand-in-the-bucket\u201d sign<\/strong>. A skin biopsy may occasionally be used when confirmation is needed. Because of its strong association with cystic fibrosis, DermNet notes that discovering this condition should prompt consideration of an appropriate evaluation for cystic fibrosis.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment often focuses on reducing excessive sweating. A strong antiperspirant containing <strong>20% aluminium chloride hexahydrate<\/strong>, applied at night, is listed as a first-line option. Other treatments may include aluminium chloride gel, botulinum toxin when hyperhidrosis is present, or topical steroids in selected cases.<\/p>\n<p>The condition is generally <strong>self-limiting<\/strong>, and the changes usually disappear after the hands are dried, although they can sometimes last longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> This information describes a possible condition and is not enough to diagnose an individual. Persistent or unusual changes in the palms should be evaluated by a dermatologist or doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike normal finger wrinkling, which usually develops after prolonged soaking, this reaction can appear within only a few minutes.
