Little CF wrinkles

This is known as aquagenic wrinkling.

It happens to all of us if we really soak ourselves in the bath but it happens for those with cystic fibrosis much more quickly - the term is hyperwrinkling. It happens within 2 to 5 minutes.

Aquagenic wrinkling is actually considered a clinical sign of cystic fibrosis and is seen in as many as 80% of people with the disease.

Really interestingly it has also been reported in people who are cystic fibrosis carriers, although the sign can take slightly longer to manifest following water immersion in carriers.

So there it is - our wrinkly little salty boy 💙 Love him so much 💕💕💕💕
