Asked By:Sierraa in Orange, CA

I think I have a very rare condition called Chromhidrosis. I have colored sweat. I only get the colored sweat in my upper cheek area. The best way for me to describe it is like black ink coming out of my pores. I don't get this anywhere else but my upper cheek area. I've been dealing with this for about 2 years. Is there anything I can do to try and stop this condition?
