What is Anhidrosis?

  1. Highly contagious eye infection

  2. Loss of pigment in skin cells

  3. Lack of perspiration due to sweat gland failure

  4. Dark patches from skin trauma

The correct answer is: Lack of perspiration due to sweat gland failure

Anhidrosis is a condition where the body is unable to sweat due to sweat gland failure. Option A is an incorrect choice because anhidrosis has nothing to do with the eyes or infections. Option B is also incorrect as anhidrosis does not affect skin pigmentation. Option D is incorrect because anhidrosis is not related to skin trauma or dark patches.
