Chromhidrosis is a rare condition that occurs in the form of colored sweating. An increasing number of lipofuscin pigments is believed to cause apocrine chromhydrosis in the apocrine cells. Patients with chromhidrosis often refer to a physician because of black, brown, blue, green or yellow spots on the clothes. A 62-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency room with the symptoms of blue-colored sweating, which lasted for about two months. This patient's wife, 55-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency room together with her husband due to the symptoms of blue sweating, which continued without remission for the last two months. Both patients stated that their underwear had been dyed blue because of their blue sweats for the past two months. Our cases are interesting in terms of being partners, aged 55-62, with symptoms started and continued at similar times. The patients were discharged from the emergency room, and no further tests were performed for its etiology, due to their good overall condition, stable vital signs, no known illness or history of drug use, and no symptoms except for having blue sweats for two months. Patients with chromhidrosis can also admit to the emergency room with blue sweating symptoms. Patients with good overall condition and no immediate symptoms should be referred to dermatology outpatient clinics.
