Apocrine chromohidrosis and eccrine pseudochromohidrosis are both rare skin presentations. In case of former patient presents with coloured sweats in apocrine distributions usually axilla, breast etc., while later presents with coloured sweat in eccrine distribution.Such cases need to be reported after other possibilities with similar presentations have been ruled, and need special mention in literature as mostly they are misdiagnosed as factitious.Hereby, I am also reporting one such case of pseudochromohidrosis which needed attention as it was causing anxiety to both patient and family members and its proper diagnosis and treatment brought a great relief to them.

In April 2020, artists Robertina Šebjanič, Louise Mackenzie, Karolina Żyniewicz and Isabel Burr Raty were invited by Dalila Honorato to develop research on the theme of “Staying in Touch: post-coronavirus art curating” as part of the collaborative digital art residency Braiding Friction. Working remotely across Slovenia, the UK, Poland, Belgium, Greece, USA and Portugal the group developed a speculative fiction in which art is the virus and art practitioners act as frontline workers. Braiding historical and contemporary art, architectural and bio-art practices, the group developed potential futures for post-pandemic art spaces, resulting in a fictional account of a series of art exhibitions that coincide with a pandemic event. The research was synthesised in the form of a pseudo-documentary premiered by the Creative Europe project BioFriction on 23rd July 2020. This article presents the transcript of the pseudo-documentary “Staying in Touch” (Honorato, Mackenzie, Żyniewicz, Burr Raty, Šebjanič and Tavares 2020, 00:00:00 to 00:47:55), set in 2039: an ergodic narrative constructed as a self-ethnographic role-playing exercise by its contributors, where alter-egos Vess L, Arri Val, K-130, Soladite Carnelian and Anise Neuchâtel reflect on their curatorial practices before, during and after the pandemic. Whilst the narrative draws from many academic and contemporary influences, any references to historical events, real people or real locales are used fictitiously. Other names, characters, places or incidents are the product of the authors’ imagination, and any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. “Staying in Touch” was edited by Pavel Tavares with the support of Cultivamos Cultura and included cameo appearances by artists Marta de Menezes, Yann Marussich and Adam Zaretsky. At its core, this work is a case study of artistic research and the possibilities of interactive engagement during the COVID-19 lockdown.

“… 1 However, in pseudochromhidrosis, sweat becomes colored after secretion by exogenous factors such as dyes, paints, chemicals, or pigment-producing microorganisms, such as chromogenic bacteria. 2 When the color is due to chromogenic microorganisms, the condition is referred to as infectious pseudochromhidrosis (IPCH; Table I ). 2 Different species can cause different colored sweat: Bacillus species and Malassezia furfur are associated with blue sweat, Corynebacterium species are associated with brown or black sweat, Serratia marcescens is associated with pink sweat, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with blue-green sweat.…”
