L75.8: Other apocrine sweat disorders

You have changes on the sweat glands.

There are two different forms of sweat glands. One form of sweat glands is located in the skin throughout the body and they produce sweat. Sweat helps the skin to cool down when it is too warm. Certain substances are also excreted and the skin is kept supple. A second form of sweat glands is located mainly in the armpits and genital area. They also produce sweat. However, this sweat contains certain substances that can give off a strong odor.

You have changes in the second form of sweat glands.
