Hyperhidrosis

Some conditions remain under-discussed despite their widespread prevalence. Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is one such condition that can impact individuals not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. At Key Wellness, we prioritize your comfort and aim to guide you through the ins and outs of hyperhidrosis, ensuring you get the best care possible.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive, often unpredictable, sweating that goes beyond the body’s natural need to regulate temperature; This sweating can occur in specific areas, such as the hands, feet, underarms, face, or throughout the entire body.

Why Does Hyperhidrosis Occur?

The exact cause of hyperhidrosis remains uncertain. However, some potential triggers include:

  1. Genetics. A family history can increase susceptibility.
  2. Medical conditions. Conditions such as menopause, thyroid issues, or low blood sugar can induce excessive sweating.
  3. Medications. Some medicines have side effects that cause increased sweating.

Signs and Symptoms

Beyond the evident excessive sweating, hyperhidrosis can lead to:

  1. Wet or damp patches on clothing
  2. Palms or soles that are frequently moist
  3. Skin maceration (softening and breaking down) due to prolonged wetness
  4. Secondary infections due to constantly damp skin
