Eccrine chromhidrosis (CH) is a rare condition characterized by the excretion of colored sweat from eccrine glands. This case report contributes to the medical literature by highlighting two instances of eccrine CH linked to over-the-counter personal care products, an association not previously documented. These products contained FD&C Blue No. 1, D&C Red No. 33, and Ext. D&C Violet No. 2, which are known colorants in various consumer items. These cases underscore the potential for personal care products containing colored dyes to cause eccrine CH. The medical community and consumers must be vigilant about product ingredients to facilitate an accurate diagnosis and promote informed usage. Healthcare professionals should consider the role of colored personal care products in their differential diagnosis of CH to recognize and address potential risks effectively. These cases emphasize the need to actively include colored personal care products in medical considerations to ensure that healthcare practices and consumer awareness properly recognize and address potential risks associated with these products.
小汗腺色汗症（CH）是一种罕见病症，其特征是小汗腺排出有色汗液。本病例报告通过突出两例与非处方个人护理产品相关的小汗腺CH病例，为医学文献做出了贡献，此前尚无此类关联的记录。这些产品含有FD&C蓝色1号、D&C红色33号和外用D&C紫色2号，它们是各种消费品中常见的着色剂。这些病例强调了含有彩色染料的个人护理产品导致小汗腺CH的可能性。医学界和消费者必须对产品成分保持警惕，以便准确诊断并促进明智使用。医疗保健专业人员在对CH进行鉴别诊断时应考虑彩色个人护理产品的作用，以有效识别和应对潜在风险。这些病例强调有必要在医学考量中积极纳入彩色个人护理产品，以确保医疗实践和消费者意识能够正确识别和应对与这些产品相关的潜在风险。
