A rare medical condition where a person sweats blue or green colored sweat due to the presence of certain pigments or bacteria in the sweat glands.
From Greek 'kyanos' (blue) + 'ephidrosis' (sweating). A clinical term combining Greek roots to describe an unusual dermatological symptom.
Cyanephidrosis is so rare that most doctors never see a case, but when it occurs, it's usually caused by harmless bacteria (like Pseudomonas) colonizing sweat glands—the blue sweat is essentially stained sweat, not a sign of serious danger.
