Excessive Sweating

Controlling Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a common medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that is not necessarily related to heat or physical exertion. While sweating is a normal bodily function that helps regulate body temperature, excessive sweating can be embarrassing and affect self-esteem and confidence, especially in social or professional settings.

What Causes Excessive Sweating?

Hyperactive Sweat Glands

Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive and produce more sweat than is necessary to regulate body temperature.

Genetics

Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to developing hyperhidrosis due to factors such as family history, ethnicity, and skin type.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal imbalances, such as those that occur during puberty, menstruation, or menopause, can contribute to the development of hyperhidrosis by affecting sweat gland function.

Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, and infections, can cause excessive sweating as a symptom.

Treatment For Excessive Sweating

Neurotoxin (BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin)

Neurotoxin injections can be used to temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production, reducing excessive sweating in targeted areas such as the underarms, palms, and feet.
