∙ 15y agoThere are two types of sweat glands - apocrine and eccrine. Apocrine glands are found mainly in the axilla (armpits) area and the genital area. Ceruminous glands are the glands in the ear canal which secrete earwax, these are a modified type of apocrine gland. Eccrine glands are found mainly on the palms, soles of feet and the forehead - they are much more numerous than the apocrine glands.
