“…Surgical excision with skin grafting may be necessary in difficult cases limited to small areas (23). It is reported to effectively relieve pruritus and decrease papular frequency by 95% to 100% (24). Liposuction‐assisted curettage, involving eradication of affected apocrine glands, successfully diminished papules and relieved pruritus in the axillae of a 33‐year‐old woman (24).…”

Fox-Fordyce disease is an uncommon disorder primarily affecting postpubertal females. It is characterized by intensely pruritic, papular eruptions in apocrine-gland bearing regions. Rarity and scant literature have resulted in a lack of definitive treatment options or pathognomonic diagnostic indicators. We report a 16-year-old boy with typical findings of Fox-Fordyce disease including numerous, grouped, rounded (1-3 mm), skin-colored papules confined to the axillary and periareolar areas, bilaterally. These lesions started before puberty, and were exacerbated by hyperhidrosis.

“…18 For recalcitrant cases, Chae et al suggest considering liposuction-assisted curettage, which rapidly relieved one patient's axillary symptoms, purportedly due to mechanical destruction of apocrine glands. 19 Other therapies reported to be successful in the literature include surgical excision of the apocrine glands, phototherapy, and electrocoagulation. 20e22 Increased understanding of the pathogenesis of Fox-Fordyce disease in combination with clinical trials are needed to provide more insight into the management of these patients.…”
