Chromhidrosis is a rare disorder in which there is pigmentation of sweat in a variety of colors. It can be classified into apocrine, pseudoeccrine, and true eccrine chromhidrosis. Pseudochromhidrosis is a condition in which the excreted sweat is colorless, but later acquires color due to contact with chromogenic chemicals. Systemic and topical antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment. Although it does not constitute a major health issue, it causes psychological stress and social embarrassment. A 20-year-old female presented to us with yellow-colored sweat and discoloration of clothes since 1 month. Routine laboratory investigations were normal. Skin scrapings were negative for fungus and bacteria. Skin biopsy was also normal. She was labelled as a case of pseudochromhidrosis, and oral and topical antibiotics were prescribed, to which she responded well.
色汗症是一种罕见的病症，汗液会出现多种颜色的色素沉着。它可分为顶泌腺性色汗症、假性小汗腺性色汗症和真性小汗腺性色汗症。假性色汗症是指排出的汗液原本无色，但后来因与产色化学物质接触而变色。全身和局部使用抗生素是主要的治疗方法。虽然它不构成重大健康问题，但会导致心理压力和社交尴尬。一名20岁女性自1个月前开始出现黄色汗液和衣服变色的情况前来就诊。常规实验室检查结果正常。皮肤刮屑真菌和细菌检测均为阴性。皮肤活检也正常。她被诊断为假性色汗症，并开具了口服和局部用抗生素，她对此反应良好。
