How is chromhidrosis diagnosed?
The diagnosis is mainly a clinical one. The diagnosis of apocrine chromhidrosis can be confirmed by the demonstration of an increased number of lipofuscin granules in chromhidrotic apocrine cells on skin biopsy. Chromhidrosis should be differentiated from pseudochromhidrosis and alkaptonuria.
What drugs can cause chromhidrosis?
Eccrine chromhidrosis is due to water-soluble coloured dyes and other chemicals being excreted in the eccrine sweat. Examples include: Ingestion of medications, metals, and dyes including tartrazine-coated bisacodyl laxatives, quinine, rifampicin, clofazimine, methylene blue, mercury, and copper.
