Abstract
- Chromhidriosis or the production of colored sweat is a rare clinical finding. Several dyes, when injected intravenously, have been shown to be secreted in eccrine gland, but in most cases the sweat is colored in skin surface, resulting from the contamination by dyes, pigment from microorganisms, or other chemicals. We report a case of eccrine chromhidriosis which revealed blue-green spots on palms, soles, buttocks, and back.
