arts are most commonly affected in bromidrosis?#

The feet and the axillae.

#What is the treatment of bromidrosis?#

It is essentially the same as that of hyperidrosis (_q. v._), consisting
of applications of astringent lotions, dusting-powders, especially those
containing boric acid and salicylic acid, and the continuous application
of diachylon ointment. In obstinate cases weak formaldehyde solutions,
Roentgen rays, and high-frequency currents can be tried.

#Chromidrosis.#

#Describe chromidrosis.#

This is a functional disorder of the sweat-glands characterized by a
secretion variously colored, and usually increased in quantity. It is,
as a rule, limited to a circumscribed area. The most common color is
red. The condition is probably of neurotic origin and tends to recur.
(True chromidrosis is extremely rare; most of the cases formerly thought
to be such are now known to be examples of pseudochromidrosis.)

Treatment should be invigorating and tonic, with special reference
toward the nervous system. The various methods of local electrization
should also be resorted to.

Mild antiseptic and astringent lotions or dusting powders should also be
advised.

_Red chromidrosis_ or _Pseudochromidrosis_ is a condition in which the
coloring of the sweat occurs after its excretion and is due to the
presence of chromatogenous bacteria which are found attached to the
hairs of the part in agglutinated masses. The axilla is the favorite
site. Treatment consists of frequent soap-and-water washings, and the
application of boric acid, resorcin, and corrosive sublimate lotions.

#Uridrosis.#

#Describe uridrosis.#

Uridrosis is a rare condition in which the sweat secretion contains the
elements of the urine, especially urea. In marked cases the salt may be
noticeable upon the skin as a colorless or whitish crystalline deposit.
In most instances it has been preceded or accompanied by partial or
complete suppression of the renal functions.

#Phosphoridrosis.#

#Describe phosphoridrosis.#

Phosphoridrosis is a rare condition, in which the sweat is
phosphorescent. It has been observed in the later stages of phthisis, in
miliaria, and in those who have eaten of putrid fish.
