Curb excessive sweating this summer

Summer can be a difficult time for people who suffer from excessive sweating. This embarrassing problem can seriously affect lives by causing embarrassment, low self-confidence and social phobia. It can even affect job prospects and career progression.

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, commonly affects the armpits, palms and soles. Other areas involved can be the scalp, forehead and skin folds under the breast and in the groin. Sometimes excessive sweating can be all over. The problem usually starts in the teens but can occur at any age

Sufferers are constantly trying to disguise the problem by wearing dark clothes or avoiding social situations in which they feel the problem will cause embarrassment.

There is good news however! Several effective treatments are available. Successful treatment can be life changing and can be quite simple.

The most effective treatment for excessive armpit sweating is Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections. This can reduce sweating dramatically and virtually wipes out the problem. Botox is also useful for excess sweating over the scalp and upper face.

Iotophoresis, a treatment that involves soaking the hands and feet in water that has a light electrical current running through it, is the one of the best treatments for sweaty palms and feet. Other treatments include topical preparations and oral medications.

So, if you have excessive sweating, and want to curb the problem, then contact  Midland Skin to arrange an appointment with one of our Dermatologists on 0121 285 4540 or find out more about hyperhidrosis at our website.
