Infectious pseudochromhidrosis is a rare dermatological disorder, characterized by a change in colour of the sweat from normal skin, caused by pigments from microorganisms. Such pigments are a result of evolutionary competition among microorganisms, which appears to be a decisive factor in their survival, pathogenicity, and virulence. Four bacteria are known to be involved in infectious pseudochromhidrosis: Bacillus spp. (blue colour), Corynebacterium spp. (brown/black colour), Serratia marcescens (red/pink colour), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (blue-green colour). Infectious pseudochromhidrosis seems to be triggered by certain drugs and conditions causing physiological alterations and/or changes in microflora on the skin surface. The condition can be treated by addressing potential triggers and/or prescribing antibiotic/antiseptic therapies. We report here a case of blue infectious pseudochromhidrosis caused by pigment-producing Bacillus cereus and the results of a literature review.

Chromhidrosis or ephydrosis tincta is a rare sweat gland disorder with a characteristic presentation of the secretion of colored sweat, first reported by Yonge in 1709. This condition can be subdivided into apocrine chromhidrosis, eccrine chromhidrosis and pseudo-eccrine chromhidrosis. Treatment depends on type and cause. Pseudochromhidrosis is the change of color of normal eccrine sweat on the skin by surface compounds, molecules or chromogenic bacteria. Here we report a case of pink coloured sweat and marked staining of clothes and under garments in a previously asymptomatic young male soft wear engineer without any underlying co morbidities that affected his quality of life. He responded well to oral antibiotics. Though unharmful, it lead to social embarrassment and psychological issues.
