Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably without being triggered by natural sweat producing behaviours or situations (ex. warm temperatures, exercise, nervousness, anger, fear). There are two types of hyperhidrosis:
- Primary Hyperhidrosis - excessive sweating affecting the hands, feet, and armpits
- Secondary Hyperhidrosis - excessive sweating as a result of other medical conditions
What Are the Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis?
- Wetness
- Sweating even in cool temperatures
- Sweating even when at rest
What Are the Causes?
People who experience hyperhidrosis are known to have overactive sweat glands. Over activity may be a result of several conditions such as a thyroid or nervous system disorder, low blood sugar, or other health issues.
What Are the Treatments?
Lifestyle/ Non-Medical Treatments:
Excessive sweating may be controlled with strong anti-perspirants, which plug the sweat ducts. Products containing 10% to 15% aluminum chloride hexahydrate are the first line of treatment for underarm sweating.
