Anidrosis.
Reading edition
Describe anidrosis.
It is the opposite condition of hyperidrosis, and is characterized by diminution or suppression of the sweat secretion. It occurs to some extent in certain systemic diseases and also in some affections of the skin, such as ichthyosis; nerve-injuries may give rise to localized sweat-suppression.
Treatment is based upon general principles; friction, warm and hot-vapor baths, electricity and similar measures are of service.
