Abstract
Apocrine chromhidrosis is a rare disease frequently localized to the face or axillae, and rarely has been reported to occur around the breasts. We report a 15‐year‐old amateur figure skater who displayed localized chromhidrosis around her areolae. The most common precipitating event was exercise, She was treated topically with capsaïcin cream 0.025% with a subsequent decrease in symptomatology.Keywords
