Very often, upon returning home after a hard day at work and taking off their shoes, many people notice that their feet are very sweaty and now smell unpleasant. This is nothing more than hyperhidrosis of the feet, which manifests itself in excessive sweating. This disease can manifest itself not only in the feet, but also in the palms, armpits, face and neck. However, it is important to understand that the process of sweating itself is not a pathology. On the contrary, without it the heat regulation of our body would not be possible. But if the sweat glands begin to actively secrete fluid with minor irritants and a complete absence of physical activity or hot weather, then this may be a good reason to contact a specialist.
If you are faced with a problem such as hyperhidrosis of the legs, treatment can be quite effective if you choose it correctly and strictly follow all the recommendations of your doctor.
Usually, it is not difficult to understand that this problem exists. You have foot hyperhidrosis if:
- your feet sweat even when you wear high-quality shoes, do not play sports and are in a cool room;
- the amount of sweat that is usually secreted by the body exceeds all acceptable standards and causes serious discomfort;
— excessive sweating provokes nervous tension and stress;
- You have been worried about hyperhidrosis of the legs for a long time, the treatment of which with simple means, such as careful hygiene, antiperspirants and deodorizing foot creams, does not produce results.
Until now, science has not been able to reliably establish the reasons that cause excessive sweating in the body. It is only known that the disease can manifest itself at any age, but most often it affects people in their second and third decades. When it comes to leg hyperhidrosis, it can be assumed that it is caused by the following factors:
— insufficient body hygiene;
- tight shoes made of synthetic material;
- nervous stress, increased excitability of the body;
- too much physical stress on the leg area;
— diseases of the endocrine system;
- fungal infection of the foot (usually accompanied by severe itching, cracking, peeling and an unpleasant odor).
It also makes sense to look for the cause of increased sweating in your usual diet, since dishes that are too spicy and heavily seasoned with spices, and sometimes alcohol, can provoke such a symptom.
If you are affected by foot hyperhidrosis, treatment may just need to consist of more careful self-care. But if this does not help, then the problem is much deeper and more serious.
One of the methods for treating leg hyperhidrosis is iontophoresis. This procedure is completely painless and involves the patient immersing their feet in a bath of water through which a current passes. Under the influence of this technique, the ion channels of the sweat glands are damaged, as a result of which the level of sweating is significantly reduced. To achieve a positive result, it is enough to carry out 10 daily sessions, the effect of which usually lasts for several months.
If a patient has very severe hyperhidrosis of the legs, treatment with Botox injections can effectively treat this problem. This technique is also used in any other areas of the body and consists of injecting Botox under the skin, blocking the work of the sweat glands for up to 6 months. The procedure may be painful, especially in the feet and palms. Also, you should know that there is a small percentage of people who are completely resistant to Botox, which means that this method of treating hyperhidrosis will not be suitable for them. Also, treatment of leg hyperhidrosis with Botox has some contraindications, such as pregnancy and lactation, myasthenia gravis, hemophilia, and allergies to the components of the drug.
Some people suffering from leg hyperhidrosis use various medications to treat the disease. In principle, there is no medical cure for profuse sweating, so the doctor usually prescribes sedatives or anticholinergic drugs. This treatment is not suitable for everyone, as these medications have serious side effects that can significantly impair the quality of life.
Psychotherapeutic methods for treating leg hyperhidrosis can also be used to help combat its possible cause—stress. Reflexology methods, such as acupuncture, thermopuncture, etc., can also provide a temporary effect.
In the most extreme case, if there is excessive sweating of the feet, a surgical operation called “laparoscopic lumbar sympathectomy” is resorted to. With its help, the activity of the nerve nodes that send signals to the sweat glands completely stops. This technique is not so widely used due to possible postoperative scars, although it is quite effective and does not require long recovery.
Among other things, for a disease such as hyperhidrosis of the legs, treatment with folk remedies is also actively used, but its effectiveness has not been scientifically proven. Proponents of alternative medicine for excessive sweating advise soaking your feet in a decoction of oak bark, rinsing your feet with a saline solution, and taking a sage decoction daily.
When starting treatment for leg hyperhidrosis, it is very important to follow some rules that can prevent and significantly speed up the healing process:
— carefully observe personal hygiene of your feet and entire body, take a shower twice a day, and wipe your feet dry after water procedures;
— choose socks and hosiery made from natural materials;
- try not to skimp on shoes, wear high-quality shoes and make sure they are not too narrow or tight;
- wear sports shoes only when playing sports, do not use them for everyday wear;
- adhere to a proper diet, try to avoid excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
It is very important to begin treatment for leg hyperhidrosis in a timely manner in order to always remain confident and prevent possible psychological problems in the future.
Hyperhidrosis is a pathological condition accompanied by increased sweating throughout the body (general form) or only in certain areas (local form) - in the armpits, on the feet or palms, in large folds. Local forms of hyperhidrosis are more common.
Sweating is a physiological process that performs important functions:
Sweat glands located in the dermis of the skin over almost the entire surface of the body (except for the genital area) are responsible for the formation of sweat in the human body. The work of these glands is regulated by the sympathetic department of the autonomic nervous system, which is activated in response to any stressful situations, so increased sweating in such conditions is a normal reaction. But when a person calms down, his skin dries out and sweating stops. The appearance of hyperhidrosis in a calm state is always a sign that something is happening incorrectly in the body or the patient is behaving incorrectly. Therefore, before you start taking any measures to reduce sweating, it is worth identifying the cause of this condition. Elimination of the identified etiological factor in most cases helps to cope with hyperhidrosis without special treatment.
Possible causes of increased sweating include:
In addition, there is such a thing as physiological hyperhidrosis, which appears when the air temperature is uncomfortably high outdoors or indoors, physical stress and, as mentioned above, stressful situations, emotional arousal, and fear.
We should not forget about factors unrelated to health that can provoke increased sweating. These include:
In addition, hyperhidrosis (especially general) can be a hereditary problem. In such cases, severe sweating occurs already in childhood in the absence of any concomitant or provoking diseases in the child.
The main manifestations of hyperhidrosis are wet hands, feet, streams of sweat running down the body, wet clothes and, possibly, an unpleasant odor emanating from the person. A doctor can assess the severity of hyperhidrosis visually - when examining the patient or his things (by the size of wet spots).
In addition, special diagnostic methods are used to identify hyperhidrosis:
Modern medicine has various methods of treating hyperhidrosis:
Treatment usually begins with the least invasive methods - antiperspirants and iontophoresis. And only if they do not give the desired result, Botox injections or surgery are performed.
These products can be used on the armpits, arms, feet and even the face. In their action they are similar to cosmetic antiperspirants, but the concentration of active substances (usually aluminum salts) in them is much higher.
The doctor selects an antiperspirant depending on the form of hyperhidrosis and gives recommendations regarding its use, since if such products are used incorrectly, severe skin irritation can occur.
Medical antiperspirants are more effective when applied to the body in the evening, when sweating decreases. The skin should be absolutely dry, not steamed, not damaged, so after depilation it is advisable not to use antiperspirant for several days and always wait 20-30 minutes after a bath or shower.
Iontophoresis is a fairly effective and safe method of treating hyperhidrosis. The essence of this method is that currents and ionizing substances, passing through the skin, “turn off” the sweat glands.
During the iontophoresis procedure, the patient immerses his feet or hands in special baths of water, to which a low-voltage current generator is connected. Special pads are used for the armpit area. The duration of such a session should be 20-40 minutes. To get results you need 5-10 sessions. As soon as sweating begins to return, procedures should be resumed.
The following conditions are contraindications to the use of iontophoresis:
Botox injections, widely used for rejuvenation, are also used to treat hyperhidrosis. When administered intradermally, botulinum toxin blocks the transmission of nerve impulses from nerves to the sweat glands and thereby reduces sweat production. This method is especially effective for axillary (axillary) hyperhidrosis. Carrying out similar procedures on the feet and palms can lead to temporary disruption of the fingers and is less tolerated by patients due to pain. However, the doctor’s experience and special pain relief techniques make it possible to treat hyperhidrosis of any localization with botulinum toxin.
Before starting treatment, patients undergo a Minor test, which allows them to accurately determine the area in which injections need to be made. Then, to reduce pain, a special anesthetic gel is applied to the armpit area and botulinum toxin is injected with a syringe. The effect of this treatment method lasts 6-8 months.
Contraindications to the use of botulinum toxin:
Curettage is a surgical method for treating axillary hyperhidrosis. The essence is the mechanical destruction of the sweat glands using a special device - a curette. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia; a small incision is made in the skin to insert a curette. The effect after curettage lasts 4-6 months, then new sweat glands appear, but such increased sweating as before the operation is usually no longer observed. A side effect of curettage is a temporary loss of sensation in the armpits due to damage to nerve fibers.
The most modern method of treating hyperhidrosis is the use of laser. During the operation, a light guide is inserted under the skin of the axillary region through a small incision, after which a laser beam destroys the sweat glands. Recovery after such an operation is much faster than after conventional curettage.
Sympathectomy is another method of treating hyperhidrosis, which involves cutting or clipping the sympathetic nerve fibers. For excessive sweating of the palms, endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is performed, and for hyperhidrosis of the feet, lumbar sympathectomy is performed. These operations are performed under general anesthesia.
In terms of effectiveness, sympathectomy is the first among other invasive methods of treating hyperhidrosis, but does not exclude the development of a number of complications:
At home, to reduce excessive sweating and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment methods used, you must do the following:
In addition, you can reduce sweat production using a number of folk remedies:
However, hyperhidrosis cannot be cured with home methods alone. If you have excessive sweating, you should definitely consult a dermatologist and undergo an examination to identify the cause of this unpleasant problem.

Sweating is a natural process in the body that provides thermoregulation. But many people are worried about excessive sweating. It is accompanied by the appearance of an unpleasant odor, which causes discomfort and embarrassment. In medicine, this process is called hyperhidrosis. Most often it occurs in the armpits and feet. What is hyperhidrosis and how to deal with it?
Hyperhidrosis of the feet is increased sweating on the feet, not associated with physical activity or stress. In other words, feet sweat a lot when at rest. 5% of the population faces this problem. Most often it is observed in adolescents and men after 25 years.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis:
Hyperhidrosis of the feet is the most common local type. If increased sweating is observed during physical activity, increased temperature, or drinking large amounts of water, then such hyperhidrosis is called physiological or temporary. It occurs as a result of exposure to external factors, and therefore is not considered a clinical pathology. However, if hyperhidrosis is caused by internal diseases, then you should seek help from a specialist.
The appearance of increased foot sweating is influenced by a number of factors, external and internal.
The most common ones are:
In fact, science is still actively studying the issue of the appearance of foot hyperhidrosis. The factors mentioned above are among the probable causes. In addition, doctors believe that the nature of this phenomenon is strictly individual and manifests itself differently in each individual case.
Signs of hyperhidrosis become noticeable very quickly. The main one is, of course, increased sweating. In addition, the following signs are observed:
In addition, the discomfort caused by hyperhidrosis can provoke emotional disorders in the form of nervousness and irritability. To get rid of these unpleasant symptoms, you need to seek specialized help.
Hyperhidrosis is quite easy to identify. To begin with, the doctor excludes disease factors that can cause profuse sweating. In addition, emphasis is placed on the age and position of the patient.
After eliminating ailments, it is necessary to identify the cause of the occurrence, and based on it, prescribe treatment. To begin with, the patient is asked to change shoes or take better care of his feet.
Laboratory examination of the legs is also considered an effective diagnostic method. Namely, a microscopic examination of foot scrapings. This will identify fungus and other infections.
Hyperhidrosis is treated in several ways:
The most popular method is the medicinal method. Local treatment with ointments, pastes and creams is used against hyperhidrosis. These medications contain the substance formaldehyde. The most popular preparation is Formidron ointment; it kills germs on the feet and narrows the sweat glands. As a result, sweat production is significantly reduced and the unpleasant odor disappears.
There are also tablets available. They attack the problem from the inside. But their use affects not only the sweating of the feet, but also other processes in the body, so it is better to use them with the permission of a doctor.
Botox procedure has become very popular recently. It involves the injection of purified protein under the skin, which significantly tightens the pores. The effect of Botox can be observed for six months, maximum 10 months. Then you can do the procedure again. There are contraindications to this method: it should not be used for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for people with cancer and the development of an inflammatory process in the body.
Galvanization or iontophoresis is a very effective method of treating hyperhidrosis, but it is especially contraindicated for people suffering from heart disease. Iontophoresis is carried out using a special apparatus. Add baking soda to a bath of water and place your feet there. The device generates a low current flow, in which the soda substance penetrates under the skin and blocks part of the sweat glands.
The most radical method is endoscopic sympathectomy. This is a surgical intervention, the surgeon makes small incisions on the feet, penetrates under the skin and blocks the nerve endings there forever. This method is used only when hyperhidrosis is at a severe stage and other methods no longer help.
Traditional medicine is also rich in advice on hyperhidrosis. The most effective are foot baths using celandine, chamomile, sea salt, and string. This method is used not only for treatment, but also for prevention purposes.
It is important to realize that excessive sweating of the feet, which causes an unpleasant odor and, as a result, discomfort, is a problem that can be solved. You just need to regularly take care of your feet, and if a problem occurs, seek help.
Sweat glands play an important role in the functioning of the body. They secrete a liquid onto the surface of the skin, consisting of 99% water and 1% bacteria and microorganisms. By evaporating, moisture helps maintain temperature balance. In a normal state, secretions are at a level sufficient to maintain an average temperature. When it increases, sweating increases significantly. As moisture evaporates, body temperature decreases. In this way, the body strives to keep the body in comfortable conditions for life. But sometimes heavy sweating begins for no apparent reason. In this case, a person is considered to have hyperhidrosis.
This disease disrupts the normal functioning of the sweat glands. Moreover, this can happen throughout the body, or only in some areas. It should be noted that all people sweat, and this is a normal reaction of the body. But with heavy sweating, we can talk about pathology. It is quite difficult not to notice hyperhidrosis; excessive sweating causes significant inconvenience. For example, if the armpits are susceptible to disease, then you have to change clothes often because they get wet. Often, with local hyperhidrosis, the patient refuses to play sports because he feels embarrassed. Symptoms of the disease include:
The sweat itself, which has already been released, does not smell. But it creates a favorable environment for the development of bacteria and microorganisms located on the skin. The products of their vital activity create a repulsive odor that is unpleasant to others. Therefore, such a symptom cannot be completely attributed to hyperhidrosis; it rather indicates that a person does not take sufficient care of himself. With proper care of your body and proper personal hygiene, you can completely get rid of the smell.
Hyperhidrosis and its treatment largely depend on the form of the disease. First of all, the disease is distinguished by the degree of damage: complete or local. The most common type is the second one, which has many features. It is customary to distinguish local hyperhidrosis:
With scalp hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating occurs under the scalp. In this case, red spots may appear on the face, which can be considered a sign of modesty. This type of disease is less common than others and manifests itself clearly at elevated ambient temperatures or physical activity.
With armpit hyperhidrosis, the patient experiences severe discomfort. Wet stains on clothes put him in an awkward position, he has complexes and may become depressed. With foot hyperhidrosis, the patient often feels awkward when removing shoes. The disease in this form is weakly related to air temperature. It often develops together with armpit hyperhidrosis. The most common type of disease is damage to the palms. In some cases, sweat can literally drip from them. Wet palms cause severe shyness, especially in the female half of humanity.
Sweat glands in sick people are no different from healthy ones. The disruption of their activity does not lie in the area of hypertrophy, but is associated with hyperfunction. Patients with hyperhidrosis have a lower threshold for sweating. The reasons for this may be:
In addition to the diseases that cause this disease, the causes of hyperhidrosis can be violations of personal hygiene rules, wearing clothes and shoes that are poorly breathable. It should be noted that sweating increases in all people during physical activity or in stressful situations. But in patients with this disease the process is more intense.
Although the disease is not life-threatening, it may indicate the development of other ailments. In addition, it creates significant inconvenience. Therefore, if you notice symptoms of hyperhidrosis, it is advisable to consult a doctor. They will help you:
At the appointment, the doctor will definitely write out directions for tests of blood, urine, HIV infections, viral hepatitis B and C. To clarify the picture of the disease, he needs to find out a number of questions from the patient:
If the cause of hyperhidrosis is another disease, then treatment will be carried out by an appropriate specialist. For example, when sweating is combined with lower back pain and a change in the color of urine, therapy is carried out by a urologist. If hyperhidrosis is caused by benign or malignant tumors, treatment is carried out by an oncologist. The list of doctors can be quite large; the required specialist is determined by the cause that caused increased sweating.
The disease causes great discomfort for sick people. It often provokes a depressive state, and a person tries to avoid society. In addition, you have to frequently change clothes that show wet spots. Therefore, every patient wants to get rid of hyperhidrosis. For this, the following treatment methods are used:
These measures effectively help in cases where hyperhidrosis develops as an independent disease. If it is provoked by other ailments, then treatment is primarily aimed at them. Patients with an unstable nervous system are often prescribed sedatives or tranquilizers.
If conservative treatment does not bring the desired results, surgical intervention is recommended. It can be local or remote. In the first case, the operation is performed on areas of strong sweating; in the second, the intervention is performed on the spinal column.
For some people, it may be strange to hear that excessive sweating can be treated with surgery. However, surgery can completely eliminate hyperhidrosis. During the operation, the connections between the nerve endings that signal the release of sweat are removed. Before surgery, the patient must be examined according to several parameters:
If hyperhidrosis and its causes cannot be overcome by these methods, remote surgery is prescribed. It is carried out far from a place prone to sweating. For example, for palmar hyperhidrosis, surgery is performed through a small incision in the neck. With the help of special tools, the doctor can completely control the progress of the process. The goal of the intervention is to block or destroy the sympathetic trunk.
Since hyperhidrosis brings a lot of inconvenience, patients want to get rid of this disease. This can be done in simple ways using a number of recommendations. It is not possible to cure the disease using this method, but it is quite possible to get rid of sweat forever. For this it is recommended:
In addition to the methods listed, it is recommended to take a contrast shower, especially in hot weather. It not only hardens the body, but also normalizes the functioning of the sweat glands. Good results can be achieved by taking sea and sun baths. Iodine dissolved in sea water has a beneficial effect on the sweat glands.
Only a specialist should treat this disease, since it is very important to find out the cause that gave rise to the disease. With hyperhidrosis, the patient does not need to be hospitalized; treatment is carried out on an outpatient basis. Therefore, the patient can significantly help the doctor by doing therapy at home. To do this you need:
By following these simple recommendations, treating hyperhidrosis at home will be more effective. After all, in this way the patient will significantly help the body in the fight against the disease and speed up its recovery.
Knowing the reasons why hyperhidrosis can occur, it is easy to take measures to prevent it. This will not only eliminate the need for treatment, but also eliminate many psychological problems. The following are recommended as preventive measures:
It is preferable to choose natural fabric for clothing: cotton or linen. Synthetics often have a bad effect on the skin, causing irritation and sweating.
People with diseases that cause hyperhidrosis need to pay more attention to their health. They should treat their ailments under the supervision of a doctor to eliminate the possible occurrence of excessive sweating.
Those who are overweight need to change their diet and bring themselves back to normal. Otherwise, the body always experiences increased stress, which leads to increased sweating. Against this background, hyperhidrosis is quite likely.
Each patient can significantly reduce the manifestations of this disease. There are many ways to do this in folk medicine. However, we should not forget that they can only be used after consultation with your doctor. He will recommend how to treat hyperhidrosis more effectively, and will recommend the most suitable remedies for you, based on the characteristics of your body and the complexity of the disease. Most often used:
They need to be mixed to the consistency of thick water and wiped with heavy sweating several times a day.
An infusion is made on them and used as baths for diseased areas.
It is considered the leader among folk remedies in the fight against hyperhidrosis. Lemon juice is added to the decoction, after which the solution is used as compresses.
It must be ground to a talc state and wiped with it in areas with severe sweating.
Dissolve in warm water and use as hand or foot baths.
It replaces potassium permanganate well. Method of use: baths.
Warm up and apply to the affected area.
The juice is squeezed out of it and all problem areas are wiped several times a day.
A new term for most people, “hyperhidrosis” means excessive sweating. This condition is not an independent pathology and may indicate some malfunctions in the body. According to various estimates, 1-15% of the population suffers from excessive sweating.
Although hyperhidrosis does not pose a health threat, its symptoms cause serious discomfort, especially when a person is in public or during intimate interactions.
Hyperhidrosis is increased sweating throughout the body or in certain areas of the body (skin folds, face, palms and feet). Sweating is a normal function of the skin. However, with hyperhidrosis, under the influence of a provoking factor (excitement, stress, even minimal physical activity), the sweat glands begin to work in increased mode. The person begins to sweat, and a feeling of discomfort arises from the unpleasant odor.
Sweating that occurs due to high air temperature, severe physical activity and emotional reactions should not be considered a deviation. However, some people react too violently to these factors, literally “wetting from head to toe.”
In this case, the hyperfunction of the sweat glands, which provokes physiological hyperhidrosis, is caused by an abnormal reaction of the sympathetic system.
Hyperhidrosis occurs most often in a localized form (palmoplantar, large folds, face) and is provoked by one of the diseases:
Sometimes an additional cause of hyperhidrosis is a genetic predisposition, insufficient body hygiene, wearing narrow or rubber shoes, or synthetic clothing.
A person suffering from excessive sweating experiences quite unpleasant symptoms that are visible to people around him.
Excessive underarm sweating is the most common form of hyperhidrosis. A person notices:
Unpleasant foot odor that occurs quickly after washing is caused by changes in the acidity of the skin. At the same time, fungus quickly develops on feet that are “always wet from sweat,” which further aggravates the external manifestations of hyperhidrosis.
Wet, always cold palms are in most cases a sign of an unstable nervous system and high emotionality. Even the slightest experience can cause immediate sweating of the palms. A person is shy when shaking hands and communicating with other people.
In this case, not only the feet sweat, the entire skin of the legs is covered with wet perspiration. Drops of sweat drain from the groin area, causing abrasions on the inner thighs and irritating the most delicate skin of the popliteal fossa.
Other signs of hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis can also be localized in other areas of the skin. General body hyperhidrosis is somewhat less common. This appears:
Hyperhidrosis not only causes a decrease in self-esteem in a person and gives rise to a lot of complexes. Areas of skin that sweat a lot are a great place for bacteria and fungi to grow.
Therefore, people with hyperhidrosis often have pyogenic elements (pimples), lichen versicolor, streptoderma and other inflammatory skin diseases.
Although diagnosing the pathology is not difficult, identifying the true cause is often quite difficult. But it is precisely from the cause that it is necessary to begin treatment of hyperhidrosis in order to permanently rid a person of excessive sweating.
What can you do at home?
Treating hyperhidrosis at home
Simple rules will help a person significantly reduce the level of sweating. For this it is recommended:
All of the above procedures are only symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis. When you stop using them, sweating increases again.
Medical procedures to treat hyperhidrosis
Medical treatment of hyperhidrosis, drugs
Modern medicine has several methods to effectively eliminate excessive sweating. Such measures include:
These products containing formaldehyde are effective only for minor increases in sweating. Moreover, they have antiseptic properties, which is especially important in the treatment of foot hyperhidrosis. Teymurov’s paste has a similar effect.
Preparations containing botulinum toxin can quickly treat hyperhidrosis. During the procedure, the entire area of increased sweating is chipped. Botox treatment is only advisable for localized hyperhidrosis.
However, the effect, depending on the type of drug, lasts only 6-12 months, after which the procedure should be repeated. Botox injections are performed on an outpatient basis, often in salons by qualified cosmetologists.
Before the manipulation begins, skin marking is carried out with the Minor iodine-starch test. Then, under local anesthesia, a 5-10 mm puncture is made (depending on the thickness of the skin), through which the doctor uses a special curette to peel off the skin.
In this case, the small processes of the sympathetic nerve are crossed and the sweat glands are removed. The effectiveness of curettage is a reduction in sweating by 90% and the complete elimination of a specific odor.
The operation is performed endoscopically: all manipulations are performed through 2 punctures. Using a mini-camera, the doctor detects the sympathetic nerve, which is applied with a special clamp (clip) or crossed with a high-frequency current.
The operation requires general anesthesia, lasts no more than half an hour, and the patient is discharged from the clinic the next day.
It is possible to perform sympathectomy as the main treatment for severe hyperhidrosis of the armpits and face. However, compensatory hyperhidrosis cannot be ruled out: after the operation, the body begins to sweat intensely in other areas.
People with hyperhidrosis usually consult a dermatologist or neurologist. However, often, to identify the cause of excessive sweating, consultation with an endocrinologist, pulmonologist and other highly specialized specialists is required.
Sweating is a necessary process for the normal functioning of the human body. Sweating occurs at high low temperatures, during heavy physical exertion and stressful situations. But what to do if your face sweats a lot? What are the reasons and why does the face and nose sweat? This reaction of the body causes some inconvenience. Therefore, a person is looking for all sorts of ways to eliminate this problem. After all, the face is always in sight and sweating causes the so-called sweaty complex for many.
Facial hyperhidrosis can occur in people of any age. Excessive sweating is the result of improper functioning of the nervous system, which regulates this process . In each case, it all depends on the individual person. But, there are a number of reasons that cause profuse sweating of the face:
In addition to the above factors, there are other reasons for increased sweating in the body. First of all, such deviations are associated with certain diseases:
Also, do not forget that increased sweating can be caused by the individual characteristics of the body. If the problem creates severe discomfort, then you should seek help from specialists. As a result of a thorough examination, the doctor will be able to determine the obvious causes of hyperhidrosis and prescribe effective treatment.
What to do if a woman’s face and nose sweat a lot? What to do in such situations? This question interests many, so solving it will help get rid of some complexes. You can protect your face and nose from excessive sweating using the following methods:
Compliance with such rules will allow you to get rid of the problem and associated complexes in the shortest possible time.
An adult should understand that sweating is a normal reaction of the body to certain irritations. Therefore, you should not focus your attention on such a problem. But, if sweating causes discomfort and complexes, then the following methods will help in solving it:
Hyperhidrosis often occurs during extreme heat. During this period, it is necessary to have dry wipes on hand. With their help, if something happens, you can remove excess sweat. You can refresh your face with cold water. Cold water tightens the pores, which leads to decreased sweating.
Many people use wet wipes to freshen up. But experts recommend avoiding such products, as they contain fragrances and alcohols. These substances can cause irritation.
If you are actively involved in sports, then increased sweating is normal. You must have your own towel with you. Of course, it is best to wrap ice in a towel and apply it to your face periodically. If a person suffers from hyperhidrosis, then during exercise it is worth wearing a special bandage. With its help, you can collect excess sweat that is formed as a result of physical activity.
Compliance with all the rules and recommendations will solve the problem of excessive sweating. It is best to do this comprehensively. Proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are the main principles in the fight against hyperhidrosis. If the above methods do not give the desired result, then you should seek help from a doctor. Excessive sweating can be caused by serious illnesses. In this case, complex treatment will be required.
