HYPERHIDROSIS

Excessive sweating or HYPERHIDROSIS  is the condition where body’s cooling system is producing four to five times the normal amount of sweat. You could be sitting calmly somewhere, but your hands, palms, armpits, or face are drenched in sweat .

PRIMARY FOCAL HYPERHIDROSIS Chronic sweating concentrated in one area of your body is known as primary focal hyperhidrosis . It affects 2 percent to 3 percent of the population, has no known cause, although it seems to run in families . SECONDARY GENERAL HYPERHIDROSIS Chronic sweating due to an underlying medical condition. You must cure the condition to reduce sweating

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

PEOPLE MAY EXPERIENCE FOLLOWING :

MEDICAL CONDITIONS ASCRIBING TO HEAVY SWEATING

PROBLEMS FACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE SWEATING

COMPLICATIONS, IF NOT TREATED Nail infections:  Especially toe , nail infections. Warts :  Skin growths caused by the  HPV (human papillomavirus ). Bacterial infections:  Especially around hair follicles and between the toes.

Heat rash (prickly heat, miliaria ):  An itchy, red skin rash that often causes a stinging or prickling sensation. Heat rash develops when sweat ducts become blocked and perspiration is trapped under the skin. Psychological impact:  Excessive sweating can affect the patient's self-confidence, job, and relationships. Some individuals may become anxious, emotionally stressed, socially withdrawn, and even depressed.

HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENTS

Vinegar Tomato Juice Green and Black Tea Cornstarch and Baking Soda Wheatgrass Juice Potatoes and Other Potassium-Rich Foods Thompson Tee Lemon NATURAL REMEDIES

Some alterations in daily activity and lifestyle Armpit shields - pads worn in the armpit to protect a garment from perspiration. Clothing - certain synthetic fibers, such as nylon, may worsen symptoms. Loose clothing is better. Shoes - synthetic materials are more likely to worsen symptoms. Natural materials, such as leather, are recommended. Socks - some socks are better at absorbing moisture, such as thick, soft ones made of natural fibers.

If you sweat excessively only from your armpits, heavy-duty antiperspirant is a great option. Almost every deodorant and antiperspirant brand on the market has extra-strength and clinical-strength options.  These products contain 10 percent to 20 percent aluminum chloride hexahydrate , which plug the sweat ducts. ANTIPERSPIRANT

MEDICATIONS Anticholinergics drugs, such as Gl ycopyrrolate and beta blockers are the medications most commonly used to treat excessive sweat. Anti- cholinergics help prevent the stimulation of sweat glands. Beta-blockers or benzodiazepines may help reduce stress-related sweating

These medications inhibit the transmission of parasympathetic nerve impulses . Patients generally notice an improvement in symptoms within about 2 weeks. Though they have some side effects. Therefore, they can, however, be useful for those people who want to temporarily treat their facial sweating in order to prevent discomfort or embarrassment at an important event.

IONTOPHORESIS This procedure uses electricity to temporarily turn off the sweat glands . It is most effective for sweating of the hands and feet . The hands and feet are submerged in a bowl of water. A painless electric current is passed through the water. Most patients need two to four 20-30 minute treatments.

BOTOX Many people have success with Botox or to treat hyperhidrosis . Small doses of purified botulinum toxin injected into the underarm temporarily block the nerves that stimulate sweating. Botox is 80-90 percent effective, but you need to get repeat injections every six months to keep sweat away. Botox injections block the nerves that trigger the sweat glands . Patients with hyperhidrosis may need several injections for effective results

LASER The laser uses microwave energy to create heat to destroy sweat glands under the arm, so the effects are long-lasting.  The treatment is done using local anesthesia only.   Two treatments spaced 3 months apart are recommended to achieve long-lasting reduction in sweating.  Currently, this treatment is only available for use in the underarms.
