Pathophysiology and Clinical Management of Occluded Sweat Pores (Eccrine and Aprine Ductal Obstruction) clogged sweat pores

Clogged sweat pores, medically referred to as ductal occlusion of the eccrine or apocrine sweat glands, represent a primary etiological factor in several common dermatological conditions, including miliaria (heat rash), Fox-Fordyce disease, and acne vulgaris (when involving pilosebaceous units adjacent to sweat ducts). This paper reviews the mechanisms of hyperkeratosis and sweat retention, the clinical spectrum of occlusion, and evidence-based strategies for prevention and treatment. | Condition | Gland Type | Presentation |
