What Is Excessive Sweating?
Hyperhidrosis, another name for excessive perspiration, is a long cry from regular sweating. It frequently affects areas like the face, palms, soles, and underarms and can happen even in cool weather or when no physical activity is taking place. This illness affects daily activities, self-confidence, and clothing choices in addition to causing discomfort and shame.
Although the body naturally regulates its temperature through sweating, hyperhidrosis happens when nerve signals cause the sweat glands to become overactive. At Rasa Derm, we recognize that this is a quality-of-life issue rather than just a physical one. For this reason, we provide dermatologist-led, safe, and efficient therapies that lower perspiration and improve comfort.
Hyperhidrosis can be caused by an underlying ailment (secondary hyperhidrosis) or by no apparent medical cause (primary hyperhidrosis). Let’s examine the possible causes in more detail:
This kind is unrelated to any underlying medical conditions and typically begins in infancy or youth. Excessive perspiration results from overactive nerves that activate sweat glands, especially in concentrated regions like the hands, feet, and underarms.
Modifications in Hormones
Thyroid issues or times of hormonal change, such puberty or menopause, might cause an increase in sweating. The sweat glands may become momentarily overactive under these situations, resulting in abrupt or ongoing episodes of perspiration.
Anxiety and Stress
The sympathetic nervous system can be activated by emotional stimuli such as stress, anxiety, or social anxiety, which results in excessive perspiration, particularly in the palms, soles, and underarms.
Infections, neurological problems, diabetes, and adverse drug reactions can also cause excessive perspiration. This kind may occur while you’re sleeping and typically affects greater areas.
You are at a higher risk of experiencing excessive perspiration if any members of your family do. Strong inherited patterns can be seen in many primary hyperhidrosis patients.
While controlling daily routines and lifestyle might help minimize minor perspiration, medical treatment is frequently required for severe or chronic hyperhidrosis.
Precautions that are beneficial include:
- Wearing loose-fitting, airy clothing
- Using antiperspirants with clinical strength
- Drinking enough water to control body temperature
- Using mindfulness or therapy to manage stress
- Steer clear of caffeine and spicy foods as they can cause perspiration.
Go to Rasa Derm if:
- You perspire a lot, even in cool settings.
- Your perspiration interferes with work, sleep, and everyday activities.
- You have to change clothes a lot during the day because moisture causes infections or skin irritation.
All types of hyperhidrosis can be diagnosed and treated by our dermatologists utilizing safe, effective, and long-lasting techniques.
