Abstract
Apocrine chromhidrosis is a very rare, idiopathic disorder of the sweat glandscharacterized by the secretion of colored sweat. Because hormonal inductionincreases sweating, the symptoms of apocrine chromhidrosis usually beginafter puberty. Although treatment may not be necessary in some cases,capsaicin cream and 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution have beensuccessfully used to treat patients requiring intervention. Here we reportfour cases with apocrine chromhidrosis. To the best of our knowledge, ourpatients are the youngest cases reported in the literature.
