color sweat
Introduction
Introduction Chromhidrosis is a rare disease caused by the sweating of the apocrine glands, often caused by bacteria that produce pigments. Small sweat glands rarely emit color sweat, and accidental ingestion of certain drugs or dyes can also cause sweating. There are also records of yellow sweat and sweat in the Chinese medical literature. Such as "the source of the disease" yellow sweat records: "Yellow sweat is a disease, body swelling, fever, sweat and thirst, strong as feng shui, sweat dyed clothes, Zheng Huang Ruyi juice."
Cause
Cause
The sweat is yellow or black, a phenomenon known in medicine as "color sweat". This disease is rare, it occurs because the sweating secretions secreted by the apocrine glands are often caused by bacteria that produce pigments. The more common parts are mostly limited to the face and armpits, but they can also be found in the chest and back, and the color is yellow. More common, it can also be black, cyan, purple, brown or blue, etc., yellow sweat in the armpit often combined with odor (commonly known as body odor) or hyperhidrosis. Some may also have sweating of the sweat glands, which are not common, and many are caused by drugs. If the sweat produced by iodide is reddish, the sweat discharged by oral administration of chlorphenirazine is red, and the sweat of the injection of methylene blue is cyan. Chronic sweat can occur at any age and can occur continuously or intermittently.

diagnosis
1. More common face (not the normal apocrine gland distribution area, but the place where the ectopic apocrine glands exist), followed by the armpit, umbilicus and genital area.
2. The color of sweat is not equal, the most common in yellow, the yellow sweat of the armpit often combined with the stench. The color of the apocrine glands is also blue or green. For example, the injection of methylene blue can be cyan sweat, the iodide can make the sweat reddish, and the oral administration of clofazimine (chlorophenazine) can make the sweat red. Secondly, brown, black, purple, brown, and bloody (hematohidrois) are also known. Blue sweat and green sweat can be found in workers engaged in the copper industry.
3. It can occur at any age, with persistent or intermittent appearance, and emotional excitement such as fear, anger, and anxiety often trigger or aggravate.
Can be diagnosed based on clinical symptoms.
TCM pathogenesis and syndrome differentiation: Chinese medicine believes that there are many spleen and stomach damp heat, sweating and sensation of venom, causing discoloration of pores and perspiration.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
The sweat glands secrete body odor: humans have two sweat glands, one is the exocrine sweat gland throughout the body, the other is the apocrine sweat gland that is clustered around the armpits and the groin, and the apocrine sweat gland is the most important manufacturer of body odor, but it is actually manufactured. It is not the secretion of this sweat gland that is troublesome. Medical research has shown that the secretions of sweat glands are themselves odorless, and only when they adhere to the skin and have a certain chemical reaction with the bacteria, will the taste be emitted. If the bacteria's activity is left unchecked, the bacteria will feed on the secreted oil, and as the oil breaks down, it will give off an unpleasant taste. Because men secrete extra testosterone, they produce more oils that cause body odor than women, and men sometimes do not pay attention to personal hygiene as women, so they tend to produce body odor.
Sweat is like oil: sweat is sticky like oil. Also known as sticky sweat. "The source of miscellaneous diseases, the rhinoceros candle? The source of sweat": "A cloud of oil and sweat, that is, sweat is also." The sweat is like a fritter. It is like a rainy sweat, which is a dangerous sweat, similar to the disease.
Slightly sweaty: The smell of sweat glands secreted with a special odor or salty sweat is released and called odor sweat. Can be divided into systemic and local two. The body qi, fox fox and body odor of Chinese medicine belong to the scope of this disease.
