Pink Night Sweats
I have been experiencing extreme night sweats that produce a pink color that stains my sheets, nightgowns, and my hair. The pink on my sheets and nightgowns can not be removed with amy cleaner I have tried. The pink in my hair will not cover over with hair dye and will not bleach out.
I am 61 years old and went through menopause about 11 years ago. I had hot flashes and night sweats for several years, but none in the past few years, until the night sweats began again about a year ago. I am in good health. I regularly take the following medications; zetia, prilosec, neurotin, fish oil, glucosimine, alieve, melatonin, and a multi-vitamin.

What could be producing the pink sweats?
A possibility I just read about was a mild yeast infection of the skin, which colorless sweat interacts with and gets pink. Don't know if that is legit or not. Have you checked for dietary reasons, like you enjoying something that has a lot of artificial ingredients or dyes?
I'd look up each medication or supplement you take, and see if pink night sweats is a known side effect. (When someone has been getting too much beta-carotene, for example, their skin can turn orange.) Talk to your doctor to see if this is a known side-effect from anything.
