Learn More About Excessive Sweating. Perspiration or sweating is a temperatureregulation mechanism that allows the body to cool down. As uncomfortable and stinky it may get, it is the natural and healthy routine of the body. When it happens excessively without any reason then it is known as Hyperhidrosis. This condition is characterized by perpetual sweating, generally on the hands, feet, and underarms.
What Causes Excessive Sweating? There may be several causes behind excessive sweating such as underlying health conditions like hormonal shift and diabetes. If such conditions are behind the Hyperhidrosis then dermatologists suggest addressing the underlying cause first to reduce excessive perspiration.In other cases where Hyperhidrosis is not caused by a more serious problem, they must be treated directly. Many of the medications can also manifest excessive sweating.

Hyperhidrosis is different because the sweating occurs even when there is no clear cause.You might find yourself sweating in an air-conditioned room, or when you’re doing nothing more strenuous than sitting down for dinner with friends or watching television. You might be perfectly dry one moment, and then even the thought about an anxiety-triggering scenario can cause you to break out in heavy sweat. Excessive sweating is not usually a serious medical issue, but it can certainly be disruptive and embarrassing. Fortunately, there are treatments that can help get your sweating under control.

Botox injections can help control sweating by preventing your body from releasing a chemical that triggers your sweat glands. Injections are administered in your underarms or even in the soles of your feet or the palms of your hands. Results can last for nearly a year, but it may take multiple injections to achieve optimal results. This Hyperhidrosis treatment is painless and most patients do not require anesthesia. However, if desired by the patients, doctors can apply ice or anesthetic cream to the skin before the injections.
