Excessive sweating – just heat or an underlying condition

Excessive sweating overview:

Hyperhidrosis is abnormally excessive perspiration that isn't always caused by heat or physical activity. If you perspire excessively, it might seep through your clothing or drip off your hands. This kind of excessive perspiration not only interferes with regular activities but can also make one feel uncomfortable and anxious around others.

Treatment for hyperhidrosis usually works, starting with antiperspirants with a prescription. If antiperspirants are ineffective, you might need to try several drugs and treatments. Surgery to remove the sweat glands or to cut the nerves that cause excessive sweating may be recommended by your doctor in severe cases.

Aster Hospitals is one of the best dermatology hospitals in Dubai.

Causes

Your body uses sweat to cool itself. When your body temperature rises, your neurological system naturally causes your sweat glands to release perspiration. When you're anxious, you usually start to sweat, especially on your palms.

Primary focal (essential) hyperhidrosis is the most prevalent type of the condition. With this type, your sweat glands' signalling neurons become overactive even though no physical activity or temperature increase has caused them to do so. The issue gets worse when you're stressed or anxious. Your palms, soles, and even your face are typically affected by this variety.

This kind of hyperhidrosis has no known medical reason. Due to the fact that it occasionally runs in families, it might have a hereditary component.

Other possible causes

 

· Thyroid problems

· Diabetes

· Alcoholism

· Infectious diseases like tuberculosis

· Parkinson's disease

· Rheumatoid arthritis

· Stroke

· Heart failure

· Cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma

Consult the best dermatologist in Dubai if you experience any symptoms.

Treatment for excessive sweating

The majority of individuals currently use antiperspirant on a daily basis, making it the simplest option to deal with excessive perspiration. Aluminium salts are an ingredient in most deodorants. Antiperspirants create a plug on your skin when you roll them there that stops sweating.

A doctor can write you a prescription for an antiperspirant, or you can purchase one over-the-counter at your neighbourhood drugstore or supermarket. Prescription antiperspirants may cause more irritation than over-the-counter antiperspirants. Start with a brand that is available over the counter, and if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor about getting a prescription.

Deodorant is frequently supplied in packages with antiperspirants, which won't stop you from sweating but will help you manage the stench of your perspiration.

How can you control heavy sweating at your home?

· Avoid wearing bulky clothing that will hold sweat. Wear lightweight, breathable materials instead, like cotton and silk. When you know you'll be exercising outside or in the heat, pack an additional shirt. Wear socks that wick moisture away from your feet because they can perspire as well (merino wool and polypro are good choices). · To prevent bacteria from inhabiting your perspirant skin and producing odours, take a daily shower or bath with an antibacterial soap. Afterward, properly dry off before using an antiperspirant.

· Utilize shoe inserts and underarm liners to absorb sweat so that it doesn't smudge your garments or leave an odour.
