Overview

Miliaria is a common disorder of the eccrine sweat glands often occuring due to increased heat and humidity. Miliaria are caused by the blockage of the sweat ducts leading to the leakage of eccrine sweat into the epidermis and dermis. Three types of miliaria are recognized, each reflecting obstruction of sweat ducts at different levels: miliaria crystallina, miliaria rubra and its variant miliaria pustulosa, miliaria profunda. We describe a case of 34-year-old male with miliaria pustulosa.

Key words:
miliaria – eccrine sweat glands – miliaria crystallina – miliaria rubra – miliaria pustulosa – miliaria profunda
