Botulinum toxin a in the treatment of chromhidrosis.
Dermatologic Surgery : Official Publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et Al.] 2005 August
BACKGROUND: Chromhidrosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by secretion of colored sweat by apocrine glands, typically localized to the face or axilla. The current treatments available for chromhidrosis are time consuming and frequently ineffective.
OBJECTIVE: Our purpose is to demonstrate a novel approach to the treatment of apocrine chromhidrosis.
METHODS: We report a case of apocrine chromhidrosis successfully treated with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A; Botox).
RESULTS: BTX-A therapy successfully controlled facial chromhidrosis, and the effects were visible at 19 weeks post-treatment. The therapeutic benefits may be attributed to its inhibitory effects on cholinergic stimulation, adrenergic stimulation, and substance P release, although further studies are necessary to elucidate the precise mechanism of action.
CONCLUSION: This report demonstrates a new therapeutic approach to patients suffering from chromhidrosis.
