Hyperhidrosis is the term for excessive sweating. According to a study conducted in Britain, around one in 100 people suffer from the disorder. The most common causes of sweating include heat, emotional fluctuation, spicy food and even caffeine and nicotine.
Those who suffer from hyperhidrosis often find themselves in literally sticky situations. As a result, sufferers can become withdrawn.
Sweaty palms, in particular, can become a nuisance, as sufferers lose grip on objects such as glasses and other delicate objects. Even shaking hands can become an embarrassing trial for the ultra-sweaty.
But sweat not, help is at hand to keep you dry. Prescription antiperspirants with the active ingredient aluminium chloride and the cosmetic treatment Botox are both effective treatments employed to control excessive sweating. Ask your doctor about the best plan of action for you.
