Don’t sweat it out: Say goodbye to excessive perspiring!
Sweating is a process that is essential for the health and well-being of all human beings. It regulates body temperature, flushes out toxins and impurities from the body, and aids blood circulation. But if you are suffering from excessive sweating, you probably are not looking forward to summer.
Excessive perspiring or hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that affects some people, resulting in overproduction of sweat, especially in the underarms, hands, and feet. A person with the condition could get drenched in sweat even with very little physical activity, especially during the warmer months.
Although generally harmless, it is an uncomfortable and embarrassing problem for the sufferers, especially when it leads to body odor caused by various bacteria.
The good news is that this condition is entirely treatable. The range of treatments includes topical medication, Botox or Jeuveau injections, iontophoresis, oral anticholinergics, and surgery. Treatment plans may be customized for each patient based on his/her requirements. Treatment is safe and is aimed at bringing down sweating to normal levels.
