Abstract Water‐related dermatoses are a spectrum of diseases that are associated with water exposure. They result either from the direct influence of water or after injury from water inhabitants. In this review, clinical entities that manifest after water exposure (aquagenic pruritus, aquagenic urticaria, and aquagenic wrinkling of the palms) will be discussed with particular focus on the reported pathogenesis. Aquatic organisms and activities can be linked to cutaneous injuries that require identification and distinct management. Marine and freshwater dermatoses were summarized to provide physicians with easy access to the causative organism, method of injury, and appropriate management.
