Sweat glands are distributed over the entire skin surface except the nipples and parts of the external genitalia. There are up to 3 million of them per person. There are two types of sweat grands: eccrine and apocrine.
Eccrine sweat glands, also called merocrine sweat glands, are far more numerous and are particularly abundant on the palms, soles of the feet, and forehead.
Apocrine sweat glands, approximately 2000 of them are largely confined to the axillary and anogenital areas.
