According to a site about rare diseases, aquagenic pruritus is a condition in which contact with water of any temperature causes intense itching, without any visible skin changes. The symptoms can apparently last longer than an hour. 

Although the causes of the disease are unknown, there is evidence that suggests that genetic factors may play a role in the condition.
