Other apocrine sweat disorders - what does this mean
Other apocrine sweat disorders are caused by an abnormal functioning of the sweat glands which can be due to genetic defects, endocrine disorders, or medications. these disorders can cause excessive sweating in areas such as the armpits, groin, and face. the sweat produced is usually thicker and more odorous than normal.
What happens during the disease - other apocrine sweat disorders
Other apocrine sweat disorders are a group of conditions characterized by excessive sweating due to an overactive apocrine sweat gland. this overactivity is caused by an excess of hormones, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, which stimulate the sweat glands to produce more sweat than is needed. in some cases, the sweat glands may become inflamed and infected, leading to further sweating and skin irritation. treatment typically involves medications to reduce the activity of the sweat glands and topical treatments to reduce inflammation.
