Excessive Sweating

What Is Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, happens when you sweat more than your body needs to regulate temperature. It can affect your underarms, hands, feet, face, or entire body, even when you are cool and calm. For many people, hyperhidrosis leads to embarrassment, social anxiety, or skin irritation.

Types of Hyperhidrosis

  • Primary (localised) hyperhidrosis: Most common, affects specific areas like armpits, palms, feet, or face, often starting in childhood or teens.
  • Secondary (generalised) hyperhidrosis: Less common, affects the whole body and is usually caused by an underlying medical condition or medication.

Causes of Excessive Sweating

Common triggers include:

  • Genetics (family history of hyperhidrosis)
  • Hormonal changes (menopause, pregnancy, thyroid issues)
  • Medical conditions (diabetes, infections, heart disease)
  • Certain medications (antibiotics, antidepressants, blood pressure drugs)
  • Stress or anxiety (but anxiety sweating alone isn’t hyperhidrosis)

Symptoms of Excessive Sweating

Seek medical advice if you experience:

  • Sudden or severe sweating without obvious cause
  • Sweating mostly on one side of your body (asymmetrical)
  • Night sweats soaking your bedding
  • Sweating starting after new medication
  • Symptoms combined with fever, chest pain, or unexplained weight loss

How Is Excessive Sweating diagnosed?

Hyperhidrosis can often be self-identified based on your symptoms. If needed, your doctor may:

  • Perform a physical exam
  • Ask about your medical history and sweating patterns
  • Carry out a sweat test, such as applying a powder that changes colour when wet

How to manage and treat Excessive Sweating

Antiperspirants
First-line treatment for most people. Antiperspirants contain aluminium salts, which block sweat glands temporarily. Over-the-counter antiperspirants are effective for mild cases; stronger prescription-strength versions are available if needed.

Lifestyle Tips

  • Apply antiperspirant before bed to allow it to work overnight
  • Wear loose, breathable clothing in natural fabrics
  • Stay cool in well-ventilated environments
  • Use absorbent socks and rotate shoes
  • Keep a sweat diary to identify triggers like spicy foods or caffeine

Advanced Treatments

If antiperspirants do not help, options include:

  • Botox injections (blocks nerves activating sweat glands, lasts ~6–12 months)
  • Iontophoresis (electrical current in water trays for hands/feet)
  • Medications (anticholinergics, prescribed by a doctor)
  • Surgery (reserved for severe cases; removes sweat glands or interrupts nerves)

Note: Advanced treatments require professional assessment; always consult your doctor before considering them.
