About hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Hyperhidrosis is sweating that is far more than the body needs for cooling. The commonest form (primary focal hyperhidrosis) affects the palms, soles, underarms or face, often begins in childhood or the teens, runs in families and is triggered by heat, stress or spicy food. Secondary hyperhidrosis is sweating that results from another cause, such as an overactive thyroid, diabetes, menopause, obesity, infections, anxiety or certain medicines. Night sweats with fever or weight loss, or sweating that starts suddenly in adult life, need a medical check-up. Wearing loose cotton clothes, changing socks, using an aluminium-chloride antiperspirant at night, limiting caffeine and spicy food and managing stress help; doctors can offer other treatments for severe cases.
