Bromhidrosis Problems Odour

Sudoriferous (sweat) glands are the glands that produce our sweat. There are two kinds eccrine, and apocrine. The eccrine glands, found all over the body in almost countless numbers, are totally unrelated to hair and other glandular appendages. They exist alone, and produce a simple, watery solution in seemingly unlimited quantities. Pure eccrine sweat is normally odourless and will remain so indefinitely unless it is contaminated with other secretions, epidermal scales, or skin debris. (The glands may also excrete odoriferous material following the ingestion of onions, garlic, or certain drugs.) The comparably large apocrine glands are found in limited areas, most notably the underarms and ano-genital skin, where they secrete (in remarkably small quantities) their sweat into the hair follicle. These glands are of interest essentially because of the discomfort or unpleasantness their secretory product can cause. They have no known physiologic importance as we live today (their role of "scent glands" being lost long ago in our evolutionary past).
