A major difference between the eccrine sweat glands and the appocrine sweat glands is that eccrine glands empty into/onto the skin surface while apocrine glands empty into/onto the hair follicle.
There are two types of sweat gland, eccrine and apocrine. As the eccrine glands empty into the skin surface, they are present all over the body particularly on forehead, palms and feet. That's why we feel more sweat on these parts of the body. while apocrine glands empty into/onto the hair follicles so they are mostly armpits.
