My boyfriend sweats blue and has been sweating blue for 6 months to the point where he turns the toilet seat blue. He has had no medications or diet changes during or previous that we could guess cause it. What do you think it could be? Please help he is too stubborn to go to a physical doctor.

It's a very rare condition called Chromhidrosis. If he goes to a teaching hospital they might treat him for free. It's not lethal and drugs are used to treat it.

Hi Figmentum,

Please have your boyfriend see a doctor. Here is info on Chromhidrosis , which Torcal had mentioned, for you to both go over and speak to your medical professional.

Why take a chance when you are unsure of your health? Wishing you both the best and hope that you keep us posted!

Take care,
Amelia
