[Fox-Fordyce disease (apocrine miliaria)].

Abstract

A 1-year follow-up in a 12 year old girl suffering from Fox-Fordyce disease is reported. Reddish papules were found in the typical locations in the regions with a high density of apocrine glands. A biopsy specimen showed keratin plugs in the infundibula of apocrine glands. Since hormone therapy could not yet be given, external therapy only was performed, with good results.
