During the sweat test , medicine that causes a person to sweat is applied to the skin (usually on the arm or thigh). The sweat is then collected on a paper or a gauze pad, and the amount of salt chemicals in the paper or gauze is measured in a lab. Generally, chloride (sweat chloride) is measured.
In many cases the physician can directly observe the excessive sweating. The doctor may also perform an iodine starch test, which involves spraying the affected areas of the patient's body with a mixture of 500 g of water-soluble starch and 1 g iodine crystals. Areas of the skin producing sweat will turn black.
