    GlossaryFox-Fordyce Disease

    rare skin condition causing itchy bumps in apocrine gland areas

    Fox-Fordyce Disease, also known as Apocrine Miliaria, is a rare skin condition that primarily affects women. It occurs when sweat becomes trapped in the hair follicles, leading to itchy, skin-colored or slightly red bumps, typically in areas with a high concentration of apocrine sweat glands, such as the underarms, pubic region, and around the nipples. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be related to hormonal changes and blockages in the sweat ducts.
