Isolated Areolar Apocrine Chromhidrosis

Joan R. Griffith, MD, MHA

From the University of Kentucky, Department of Pediatrics, Division of General Pediatrics, Adolescent Medicine and Young Parents Program, Lexington, Kentucky

A case of isolated areolar apocrine chromhidrosis in an 11-year-old female is presented. This is the youngest case cited in Medline. The goal of this review is to increase awareness of apocrine chromhidrosis among primary care providers and to discuss treatment. Capsaicin cream 0.025% is a proven treatment that may reduce the potential psychological impact and embarrassment that patients experience.

Key Words: chromhidrosis • capsaicin
