“…Prior studies evaluating WISW have varied in methodology, but have evaluated wrinkle number and the time to wrinkling. Regardless of the system, SW increases with duration of immersion and increasing temperature [8,11]. We found WISW unrelated to age/gender on multivariate analysis, which is consistent with prior studies [1].…”

Water Immersion-Induced Skin Wrinkling Is Related to Heart Rate Variability

Water immersion-induced skin wrinkling (WISW) is dependent on intact peripheral sympathetic function. WISW was hypothesized to reflect autonomic function in subjects without peripheral neuropathy. We prospectively studied 70 healthy subjects (aged 31 ± 8 years, 63% females) without cardiovascular risk factors or neurological disease. All subjects underwent short-term heart rate variability (HRV) studies. Time and frequency domain variables were derived including the HRV index. WISW was graded using a previously validated scale of 1–4 of which 18.6% of subjects exhibited grade 1 (minimal) WISW and 35.7% had grade 2 WISW. On multivariate analysis using the HRV index, WISW was independently related to height and the HRV index. We conclude that WISW is related to central autonomic function.

“…Time to physiologic wrinkling is dependent on several factors, e.g. it increases with rising fluid temperature [23, 24] and pH [25]. A delay in wrinkling is observed with hypertonic solutions [24], implying that epithelial water absorption and/or diffusion of fluids in the stratum corneum may also play a major role in physiologic wrinkling.…”

Painful Wrinkles in the Bathtub: Association with Hyperhidrosis and Cystic Fibrosis

et al. 2008

Transient aquagenic palmar hyperwrinkling (TAPH) is a rarely reported cutaneous condition clinically characterized by swelling and hyperwrinkling of the palms, and associated with burning sensations after briefly immersing the hands in water. Upon the withdrawal of water, the symptoms rapidly disappear. We report on a 10-year-old boy with type I diabetes, who developed the typical symptoms of TAPH concomitantly with the onset of palmar hyperhidrosis. Determination of the sodium chloride concentration of the sweat revealed elevated levels. Subsequent screening for the most common mutations of the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF) was negative. Review of the literature shows that TAPH may develop in conditions of increased water absorption due to an increased sweat quantity, such as hyperhidrosis, or an increased sweat electrolyte concentration, such as CF. In the majority of reported cases TAPH has been associated with CF; therefore, it is a cutaneous sign, which should be recognized by dermatologists, and patients should be referred for evaluation of the sodium chloride concentration of the sweat.

“…In the last three decades several authors have worked on the progression of washerwomen's skin depending on water temperature, osmolarity, etc. (Weber 1978(Weber , 1982Reh 1984;Weber and Laufkötter 1984;Püschel and Schneider 1985). These investigations have never gained practical relevance because in the very early postmortem interval other methods such as body cooling give satisfactory results (Henßge et al 1984(Henßge et al , 2007.…”
