??Chromhidrosis??: Chromhidrosis "colored sweat" ,is a rare condition. It’s caused by deposition of lipofuscin in the sweat glands. Red, blue, green, yellow, pink, & black have been reported. Usually chromhidrosis affects the apocrine glands, (underarms). Pigments made by bacteria can cause colored sweat. Chromhidrosis of the eccrine glands is rare, it occurs mainly after the ingestion of certain dyes or drugs.
