Summer's Over - Are You Still Sweating?

Don't Worry, That Clammy, Embarrassing Condition Can Be Treated

With autumn’s cool breezes, those of us who suffer through the summer with clammy, sweaty skin can breathe a sigh of relief, right? Usually. But if you find yourself still more than dewy when everyone else has broken out the corduroy, you may be experiencing more than a little hot flash.

Hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating – is a serious medical condition that afflicts an estimated three percent of us around the world – nearly 200 million sweaty souls. Sweating is normal, and necessary, to regulate our body temperatures when we get overheated. But when we sweat more than we need to stay cool, we experience hyperhidrosis. And although any site on the body can be affected, the most common places are the palms, soles of the feet, and underarms.

Yet because of lack of awareness, more than half of us are never diagnosed or treated. That’s a shame – the condition is eminently treatable, with everything from antiperspirants and electrically stimulated baths to Botox injections.

What causes excessive sweating? There are two scenarios, and both usually (but not always) start in childhood or adolescence. One form is caused by a medical condition - such as cancer, diabetes or menopause - or as a side effect of a medication. If you have this form, you even sweat while you’re sleeping. The other type is sweating not caused by other medical conditions, or a side effect of medication, and usually occurs in specific sites such as on the palms, soles of the feet, underarms, head or face. Good news – no sweaty nights for you.

Excessive sweating can cause tremendous emotional stress and anxiety, disrupting your entire life, from relationships and self-image to career choices and recreational activities. Chances are that you worry and suffer every day, spending hours dealing with the sweat - changing clothes, freshening up, stashing napkins or pads under your arms, bathing, and hiding under dark-colored, bulky clothes.

To add to the psychological trauma, excessive sweating also can cause painful or irritating skin problems, such as bacteria or fungal overgrowth, infections and even disintegration of the skin.

You needn’t sweat in silence, however – currently you have five treatment options. The first defense is topical antiperspirants and astringent salves that dry up the sweat glands. But they offer limited relief, and sweating returns if you stop using them.

Another treatment is iontophoresis and is commonly used to treat excessively sweaty feet. This involves putting your feet in a bath and then passing a gentle electrical current through the water. While iontophoresis works for some people, though it’s not clear why, treatment can be somewhat painful and take many sessions.

Medications such as prescription-strength antiperspirants and oral drugs such as anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs (for stress-induced sweating) also are used, but with only modest success. And, side effects such as swelling or blurred vision often limit their long-term usefulness.

An exciting, newer treatment is Botox, the same medication used to soften facial wrinkles. Botox injections work by blocking the nerve impulse to the sweat gland, reducing the gland’s over-activity. A series of injections in the affected area can last up to nine months.

In rare cases that don’t respond to the more conventional treatments, surgery to remove the offending sweat gland or interrupt the errant nerve signal may be an option. However, since it’s riskier and can cause permanent side effects and damage such as increased sweating in other areas or when eating, and reduced shoulder motion, patients should discuss all of the ramifications with their doctors before choosing this option.

So, don’t sweat it – literally. With proper treatment, you can leave behind the tissues and extra clothes, and do the wave worry-free.

How Do People Solve Their Sweating Problem?

If you are dealing with a sweating problem you are not alone. There are many people who also suffer from sweating, but they do so silently. They either try to cure the problem with drug store powders and sprays, or they wear additional layers of clothing. The problem is, however, that these things are like putting a band-aid on a large wound. Sure they work for a little while, but if you just give it some time, or if you do any kind of activity where you are exerting yourselves the sweating problem soon shows thorough and you are right back where you started.

The reason that people have a profuse sweating problem is known as Hyperhidrosis. True Hyperhidrosis is a problem with the nervous system where the sweat glands become overactive. This tends to strike you where the glands are the most concentrated, such as in the hands, feet, under the arms and on the face and head. Of course profuse sweating may also be the sign of another underlying problem, such as those that are associated with menopause or perhaps with a thyroid problem. Treating the sweating in these cases will not help stop the sweating. Nobody is really sure what causes the primary form of Hyperhidrosis, but many people have been helped with surgery and Botox, if you are into that sort of thing. I, for one, did not want to go under the knife so I sought a natural cure for my sweating problems. Many other people have done the same thing, and although the cure may change from person to person, if you find out what is behind your sweating problem and treat it at that level you can be successful.

Natural methods of curing your overactive sweat glands do exist. In fact you can clear up your sweating problem without using one single drug, cream or other medical treatment. They never really work anyway and provide some temporary relief at best. Visit our website for a special report on how you can finally be free from sweating at http://www.sweat-stop.info/

If you suffer from excessive sweating and don't know what to do about it you are not alone. By some estimates as much as 2% or more of the population has the problem of profuse sweating, known medically as Hyperhidrosis. The problem is that although so many people seem to suffer from this disease that many of them do not seek any medical help so it has not been given the attention that other diseases that touch as much of the population as it does. But whether the disease gets the recognition it deserves or not, for those of us who suffer from the problem really just want to stop excessive sweating for good.

The problem of excessive sweating is a medical condition, but the problems that it brings for its sufferers is more of a social issue. It causes many of those that suffer from the problem to withdraw from society to one extent or another. They avoid things such as crowds and activity with others where the sweating could become apparent and perhaps cause an embarrassing situation. Many of those that suffer from excessive sweating have tried all of the sprays and topical treatments that are available at the drug store but most of the time they just realize that these potions are not going to provide any real relief.

The only real way that I have found to stop excessive sweating is to go the natural route. By using natural methods many people have been able to slow or even stop their sweating problem in just a few short weeks and without the harmful and sometimes lasting side effects of a medical treatment.

Natural methods of curing your overactive sweat glands do exist. In fact you can clear up your sweating problem without using one single drug, cream or other medical treatment.

Although it is true that any kind of excessive sweating is a problem, perhaps a sweating face is the most noticeable to onlookers. Even a light sweat on the face can appear a small deluge to people watching. A sweating face is not a laughing matter for those who are suffering from its repercussions, especially seeing as no solution is readily available. After all, using antiperspirant on one's face has its own dangers and is, in practice, unfeasible, especially when you consider that antiperspirants do not always work. When the awkward logistics of facial sweating are considered, where sweat rolls down the face, it is understandable why such methods are rarely effective.

One method often recommended to heavy facial sweaters is to stop the use of facial creams altogether. Heavy creams often applied in great volumes during the winter months can cause a clogging affect on skin and cause even greater sweating. If it is totally necessary, it is more beneficial toward the condition to use lighter creams than heavier ones.

Something else that should be investigated is whether a sufferer has genetic heritage of the condition. Is facial sweating a condition that has been passed on from the parents? If this is the case, it might be useful to contact other family members suffering from facial sweating to see how they are dealing with the problem.

Often it is the case that sufferers make light of the condition and simply take it in stride. It can be noted that these are often the people carrying a handkerchief close by and lightly wiping their face with it.

This leads on to the topic of alternative methods to tackle the problem of facial sweating. A good practical alternative is to apply talcum powder instead of antiperspirants. A very light covering of powder should be used and care taken to avoid mouth, nose and eyes when applying it. That this method is definitely worth a try for sufferers as it can help keep the face dry and free from sweat, if only for a short period.

A compromise can be made if an individual wishes to use makeup instead of talcum powder. It is suggested that a loose compact powder be used in preference to a creamier compact version. It may be that the coverage is more temporary but this becomes irrelevant as the individual has a sweating face anyway.

At the end of the day, a sweating face does not have to spell the end of the world. Often the issue is blown out of proportion and people are made insecure because of their problem. Despite this, the little things that sufferers do to remedy the problem mean that they can continue to have an active social life and this little effort will do them great good in the long run.
