Figure 1

Diagram of two different sequences underlying an SCR (adapted from Edelberg, 1993, with friendly permission). If sweat ducts are filled to their limits, intraductal pressure will cause a hydraulic driven diffusion of sweat to the corneum resulting in a flat SCR (A). If intraductal pressure exceeds tissue pressure, the distal part of the duct and the pore will eventually open, which results in a peaked SCR (B).
