Eccrine sweat is produced by millions of miniscule glands buried in the skin. Eccrine sweating from the general body surface is an extremely important function in human thermoregulation; disturbances either in the control of sweating activity or in the glands themselves can result in problems ranging from minor social embarrassment to fatal hyperpyrexia. A general review of the function and control of normal sweating precedes an overview of sweating abnormalities.
外泌汗腺由数百万个埋于皮肤中的微小腺体产生。全身皮肤表面的外泌汗腺排汗在人体体温调节中是一项极其重要的功能；出汗活动控制或腺体本身出现紊乱，都可能导致从轻微社交尴尬到致命性高热等一系列问题。在概述出汗异常之前，先对正常出汗的功能及控制进行总体回顾。
