    In other mammals, they are relatively sparse, being found mainly on hairless areas such as foot pads. They reach their peak of development in humans, where they may number 200–400/cm 2 of skin surface. [5] [6] They produce sweat, a merocrine secretion which is clear, odorless substance, consisting primarily of water. These are present from birth.
