Eccrine sweat disorders (L74)
Clinical Information
Apocrine Glands - Large, branched, specialized sweat glands that empty into the upper portion of a HAIR FOLLICLE instead of directly onto the SKIN.
Fox-Fordyce Disease - Chronic pruritic disease, usually in women, characterized by small follicular papular eruptions in APOCRINE GLANDS areas. It is caused by obstruction and rupture of intraepidermal apocrine ducts.
Hypohidrosis - Abnormally diminished or absent perspiration. Both generalized and segmented (reduced or absent sweating in circumscribed locations) forms of the disease are usually associated with other underlying conditions.
Miliaria - A syndrome of cutaneous changes associated with sweat retention and extravasation of sweat at different levels in the skin. Miliaria rubra, or prickly heat, results from apocrine duct obstruction. The sweat then seeps into the epidermis, producing pruritic erythematous papulovesicles. (From Dorland, 27th ed)
Xerostomia - Decreased salivary flow.

Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here".

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
