Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be caused by overactive sweat glands, often triggered by genetics, stress, heat, or certain medical conditions like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or infections. It can also be a side effect of medications.
Treatment and management
Wear breathable fabrics
Use antiperspirants with aluminium chloride
Botox (botulinum toxin) is also an effective treatment for excessive sweating, particularly in areas like the underarms, palms of hands, feet, and forehead. It works by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands.
This is performed by a medical practitioner at Cheek.
