Aquadynia

Aquadynia
SpecialtyDermatology

Aquadynia is a variant of aquagenic pruritus, and is characterized by a widespread burning pain that lasts 15 to 45 minutes after water exposure.: 56 

It is hypothesized that aquagenic pruritus, aquadynia (with or without rash or plaques), and aquagenic urticaria represent a disease continuum since β-Blockers have shown promising effects in preventing aquagenic pruritus, but they may also have a role in preventing aquagenic urticaria and aquadynia.
