Apocrine glands are found in the axillary (armpit) and anogenital areas, as well as in the areola (nipple) of the breasts. They are not found in all body regions or buried deep in the dermis. They also do not occur in the palms of the hands or soles of the feet, and are not located beneath flexure lines in the body.
