Summary.— Three case of unilateral idiopathic hyperhidrosis are described. Two of the lesions were congenital; the thrid occurred in later life. Quantitative sweat collections demonstrated that the sweat glands in the lesion were hyperresponsive to those stimuli, which normally evoked sweating in the skin sites where the lesions occurred. Hyper‐responsiveness of the sweat glands to cholinergic stimuli was also demonstrated, and histology revealed greatly enalrged glands. These results suggest that the hyperhidrosis is due to Increased glandular mass, although sweat gland hypersensitivity could notberuled out as an additional contributing factor to the hyperhidrosis. Local anticholinergic therapy was found to besuccessful in the treatment of all 3 patients.

SUMMARY.— Two cases are reported with almost identical clinical appearances and with mycological findings consistent with a diagnosis of chronic hyperplastic candidiasis. On histological examination one proved to be a squamous carcinoma.

Objective-To compare the efficacy and safety of terbinafine 1% cream and clotrimazole 1% cream in the treatment oftinea pedis. Conclusion-These results indicate that a one week course of terbinafine 1% cream is more effective in the treatment of tinea pedis than a four week course of clotrimazole 1% cream, both in terms of mycological cure and effective treatment.
