Retreat to chromhidrosis: A painstaking review

Abstract

The peculiar disorder dubbed chromhidrosis is characterized by the apocrine or eccrine glands concealing colored sweat. This phenomenon typically appears during puberty and may appear in a variety of colors, such as black, green, brown, and blue. Apocrine chromhidrosis, which impacts the anogenital and axillary regions, and eccrine chromhidrosis, which involves the ear canal and labia, are the two primary explanations of the condition's characteristic-colored stains on clothing. Botulinum toxin injections, oral drugs, and cosmetic treatments are available forms of treatment. For chromhidrosis to be successfully managed, it is essential to comprehend its underlying causes, symptoms, and treatments that exist.
