Article Abstract
Chromhidrosis is a rare disorder, which can have significant psychosocial consequences for patients, particularly when it affects the face, as it can be mistaken for scarring, dirt or erroneous make-up application. Chromhidrosis can be divided into apocrine, eccrine and pseudo subtypes. We present a case of apocrine chromhidrosis localized to the bilateral cheek area.
