	eMedicine - Bromhidrosis : Article by Wingfield Rehmus, MD, MPH
		Bromhidrosis is a chronic condition in which excessive odor, usually an unpleasant one, emanates from the skin.
		The skin appears normal, except when bromhidrosis is associated with concomitant skin conditions such as erythrasma, in which case a sharply marginated erythematous macular rash is seen, or trichomycosis axillaris, in which case concretions are visible on the hairs in the affected area.
		Eccrine bromhidrosis may rarely be caused by metabolic disorders, primarily disturbances in amino acid metabolism (which include phenylketonuria, trimethylaminuria [fish odor syndrome]), sweaty feet syndrome, odor of cat syndrome, isovaleric academia, and hypermethioninemia.

		Apocrine bromhidrosis never occurs before puberty, because the particular glands involved are not active in the pre-pubescent individual.
		There is, however, one very important distinction that must be made between the true bromhidrosis patient and the bromhidrosiphobic individual: the latter being people who have a morbid dread of bodily odours and unreal images about what they smell, or in this case, what they think they smell.
		Shaving the axillary hair (men and women) is an absolute necessity for all patients with apocrine bromhidrosis, in order to prevent the accumulation of sweat and bacteria on the hair shafts.
