“…Topical anticholinergics can be an alternative to botulinum toxin and an attractive first-line treatment of facial sweating. [3][4][5]16 Anticholinergics have the ability to inactivate sweat glands by the action of acetylcholine and may be more attractive to patients than simply occluding sweat ducts with aluminium compounds that can cause itching, stinging and skin irritation. Oral anticholinergics such as glycopyrrolate and oxybutynin have been used, but sometimes dry mouth can result as a major problem, thereby leading to discontinuance.…”

Synopsis The axilla, especially its microflora and axillary sweat glands as well as their secretions, is the main target of cosmetic compositions such as deodorants or antiperspirants. There are three types of sweat glands present in the axillary skin, namely apocrine, eccrine and apoeccrine sweat glands. Here, we provide an overview of the morphological, structural and functional characteristics of the different gland types and present techniques that allow their clear distinction. Moreover, we describe different forms of perspiration as physical reactions to external and internal stimuli.

Introduction: Marcus Gunn jaw winking syndrome (MGJWS) is a rare congenital disorder belonging to the synkinetic eye movement group of disorders observed in children. It occurrence in adults and patients with diabetes has not been reported. Material and Methods: A 64 year man with poorly controlled diabetes of 18 years presented with 3 month history of jaw winking on the left side along with gustatory sweating, which was managed conservatively. There was spontaneous improvement in jaw wink at 4 months of follow up. Conclusions: Acquired causes of MGJWS are not known. This is probably the first report of this syndrome occurring at such a late age. Long standing poorly controlled diabetes may have had some role in the development of jaw winking in this patient
