Pathophysiology, clinical findings, and management of Fox-Fordyce disease: A systematic review.
J Cosmet Dermatol
February 2022
Dermatologic SurgiCenter, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Fox-Fordyce disease (FFD) is a rare chronic inflammation of the apocrine sweat glands, primarily characterized by itchy, raised bumps in areas where these glands are present, such as the underarms and genitals.
- Research highlights that most affected individuals are young females, with the condition often appearing bilaterally and showing improvement post-menopause.
- The study suggests that FFD can either be sporadic or familial, may sometimes be asymptomatic, and highlights the need for more clinical trials to explore various treatment options.

Article Synopsis
- - Fox-Fordyce disease (FFD) is a rare skin condition mainly affecting postpubertal females, characterized by itchy, skin-colored papules that primarily appear in the armpits but can also occur in other areas like the pubic and umbilical regions.
- - Diagnosis usually relies on clinical observation since the histological features are often unclear and can mimic other skin conditions, making it challenging to identify.
- - Dermoscopy is becoming a valuable tool for examining FFD, revealing distinctive features such as brown folliculocentric areas and changes in skin texture, which can help differentiate it from other skin disorders.

Laboratory of Genetics and Genomics, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Sweat glands play a vital role in regulating body temperature, consisting of a secretory portion and a duct that leads to the skin surface, but the genes responsible for their structure and function are still largely unknown.
- - Research indicates that the transcription factor Foxc1 is essential for proper sweat duct function in mice; when Foxc1 is removed, the glands mature but fail to produce sweat effectively, leading to a condition similar to the human disorder miliaria.
- - The absence of Foxc1 leads to keratin-based blockages in sweat ducts, causing enlargement of the ducts and skin issues, highlighting Foxc1's key role in regulating the differentiation of sweat duct cells and suggesting a potential animal model for studying sweat retention disorders.
