What Causes Palms To Turn White After Getting Wet?

I saw a GP for my hands. When they get wet (tap water or salt water pool) the palms turn white and there is a topical ache to the skin followed by peeling. When they dry it is a lot less noticable. The doctor I saw told me to wear cotton gloves with lots of lotion while sleeping. I tried that for weeks but it didn't help. Any ideas?
