Hyperhidrosis (Sweaty Palms): Addressing Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis, commonly known as sweaty palms, is characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It can affect various body parts, including the palms, soles of the feet, underarms, and face. While it may seem inconvenient, hyperhidrosis can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

Understanding hyperhidrosis and its management is essential for finding relief:

Primary hyperhidrosis is believed to be caused by overactive sweat glands, while secondary hyperhidrosis can result from an underlying medical condition or medication.
Excessive sweating can lead to embarrassment, social anxiety, and difficulty performing daily activities.
Treatment options range from conservative measures to medical interventions, depending on the severity and impact of the condition.

Managing hyperhidrosis involves a multi-faceted approach:

Lifestyle modifications, such as wearing breathable clothing, using antiperspirants, and practising stress-reduction techniques, can help control excessive sweating.
Topical treatments, such as prescription antiperspirants and medications, can reduce sweat production.
In severe cases, procedures like botulinum toxin injections or surgical interventions may be considered to target specific sweat glands.
