• #1 Hyperhidrosis – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459227/

  Hyperhidrosis is a disorder of excessive sweating due to the overstimulation of cholinergic receptors on eccrine glands. This disorder is characterized by sweating beyond what the body uses for homeostatic temperature regulation. Eccrine glands are concentrated in areas such as the axillae, palms, soles, and face; therefore, these are most commonly associated with hyperhidrosis. This activity describes the pathophysiology of hyperhidrosis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management. […] Hyperhidrosis is classified as primary and secondary, and the management and treatment can significantly differ. The primary disease typically presents earlier in life with more localized symptoms. The secondary disease typically presents due to adverse effects of medications or systemic disorders, particularly neurologic.

  https://www.pcds.org.uk/clinical-guidance/hyperhidrosis

  Primary or focal hyperhidrosis, which presents without an associated condition, is a common disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population. It is an embarrassing and disabling condition, defined as sweating in excess of that required for normal temperature regulation. It generally presents in childhood, but it is not unusual for the sufferer to wait until adolescence before seeking medical help. Most present before the age of 25. […] Many sufferers are reluctant to seek medical help as they have often lived with their condition for many years and find it too embarrassing to discuss with their GP. […] Primary hyperhidrosis most commonly affects the palms, soles of the feet and the axillae; but may affect any part of the body and association with the face and head is not uncommon.

  To assess the effectiveness and safety of interventions for hyperhidrosis. […] Hyperhidrosis can have a significant negative impact on a persons quality of life, both socially and in the workplace, and has been shown to have a greater impact on quality of life than other skin conditions such as atopic eczema, acne, psoriasis, or rosacea (Bechara 2007). […] A wide variety of interventions are used in the management of hyperhidrosis, ranging from topical applications, iontophoresis, injectable therapies, oral anticholinergics, energy-based devices, and surgery. […] Topical antiperspirants are considered first-line treatments by patients as they are safe, cost-effective, and readily accessible (Grabell 2017). […] Oral systemic treatments can be used for both focal and generalised hyperhidrosis, with oral anticholinergic medications being the most commonly prescribed (Grabell 2017; Nawrocki 2019).

  Too often, people suffer with hyperhidrosis without seeking help. Perhaps you may think it is silly or embarrassing. But hyperhidrosis can have a negative impact on your life. It can cause social isolation, depression, and anxiety. Plus, it can be a sign of a serious health problem. You are wise to seek your doctor’s advice. […] There are 2 types of hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis: This is called focal hyperhidrosis. It tends to affect both sides of the body. It occurs on the feet, hands, underarms, head, and face. Sometimes, it affects larger areas of the body. It seems to run in families, often begins in childhood, and occurs during waking hours. It is usually very hard to determine the cause of primary hyperhidrosis. […] More often, hyperhidrosis is caused by something else.

  Hyperhidrosis is linked to over activity of the sympathetic nervous system. […] This chain controls the apocrine and eccrine glands. The eccrine sweat glands are responsible for perspiration throughout the entire body and, when the chain is over-active, it causes excessive sweating at most times during the day. This in turn may cause considerable social, psychological and occupational problems, involving the sufferer to be either ostracised or bullied by their peers. […] Factors which may modify primary hyperhidrosis include hormonal factors, stress, and cosmetics. […] Bilateral excessive sweating most of the day; most commonly found on the palms, soles, axillae or face. […] Investigations are seldom, if at all, indicated for focal hyperhidrosis. […] Generalised hyperhidrosis in a well patient with a classical history of sweating starting in late childhood and improving in middle age is seldom related to an underlying medical condition.

  Changing your lifestyle cannot cure primary hyperhidrosis, but it can improve your symptoms and help your confidence. […] If a regular antiperspirant doesn’t control your sweating, your GP may prescribe or suggest a stronger one for you. […] You may be prescribed a type of medicine called an anticholinergic or antimuscarinic. […] If lifestyle changes and treatment don’t work, your GP may refer you to a dermatologist for further treatment, such as iontophoresis, botulinum toxin or surgery. […] Botulinum toxin can be injected into the skin in areas of the body affected by hyperhidrosis. […] In a few cases where hyperhidrosis is particularly severe and treatment hasn’t been successful, surgery may be recommended. […] Hyperhidrosis increases the risk of developing fungal infections, particularly on the feet. […] The emotional impact of living with hyperhidrosis can be severe. Many people with the condition feel unhappy and, in some cases, depressed.

[…] Self-help products include foot wipes, spray and gel, silver socks and copper socks, absorbent soles, and disposable axillae pads. […] Suggested treatment algorithm for hyperhidrosis includes oral anticholinergics, antiperspirants, iontophoresis, and botulinum toxin. […] Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) should only be considered when all other treatments have failed, as the compensatory sweating following this surgery can be much worse than the original problem. […] Surgery such as retrodermal curettage, liposuction, and laser sweat ablation is generally performed privately, but a few NHS hospitals provide some of these treatments.

  https://patient.info/doctor/hyperhidrosis

  Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) may be either focal or generalised, and either primary (no underlying cause) or secondary (underlying cause identified). Common triggers include emotion and spicy foods. […] Generalised hyperhidrosis is usually due to an underlying disorder.

[…] General advice: Avoid clothes that show sweat marks readily (white or black are suitable colours). Wear loose-fitting clothing. Avoid man-made fibres – eg, nylon. […] Consider treating any underlying anxiety with cognitive behavioural therapy (drug treatment may worsen the hyperhidrosis).

  Your doctor will probably ask you questions about your symptoms and medical history. The signs of hyperhidrosis may be obvious to your doctor and no testing may be needed. […] You cannot prevent primary hyperhidrosis. Often, you cannot prevent secondary hyperhidrosis. Much depends on what is causing your symptoms. […] If regular antiperspirants haven’t helped, try a product with a higher level of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (brand names: Certain Dri, Drysol, Hypercare, Xerac). This ingredient shuts down sweat ducts. […] A number of things can help you deal with hyperhidrosis day to day. […] If you are bothered by odor, try bathing daily with antibacterial soap. This will help wash away the bacteria and other germs that gather on the skin, which are what can cause odor when you sweat.

Even if the sweating isn’t triggered directly by stress, the sweating itself can cause stress, so relaxation techniques can be helpful.
