#sweat glands

• Adiaphoresis — A pathological condition characterized by the total absence or severe diminution, congenital or acquired, of sweat secretion (perspiration). This structural clinical phenomenon disrupts the body's normal thermoregulation, exposing the patient to major risks of overheating (hyperthermia) and heatstroke in high ambient temperatures.
• Antisudoral — Reducing, limiting, or stopping the excessive secretion of sweat from the sweat glands in the skin. It is typically used to describe cosmetic products, dermatological treatments, or active chemical substances that act locally by temporarily blocking pores or regulating glandular activity, providing protection against moisture and unpleasant odors.
• Antitranspirant — A cosmetic product or dermatological preparation designed to reduce or temporarily block the secretion of sweat from the sweat glands in the skin. It typically acts via metallic salts (such as aluminum chlorohydrate) that form a superficial gel plug inside the pores, preventing moisture and unpleasant odors, unlike a simple deodorant which merely masks the smell.
