Sweating is normal part of our body's way of cooling down our body, but
excessive sweating isn't. This is called Hyperhydrosis, and it is more
common than you might think and quite debilitating to many that are affected.
It may affect - axillary (underarm), hands, feet, groin and then there may
even be generalized hyperhydrosis.
At the skin cancer + cosmetic clinic, Dr Samuel Seit takes great
pride in assisting patients diagnose and treat this difficult condition. The
commonest complaint we get is excessive sweating on the axilla (armpits).
Patients are often embarressed by the large patch of sweat on their work
cloths even when they are not doing any streneous work or when the weather
isn't even hot. Hyperhydrosis can have significant affects socially and in the
work place, the embarrassment of shaking hands, or hugging a person can
isolate a persons social interaction, with a sweaty hand, the ability to
person in some jobs may be impossible.
Using a muscle relaxant injection, the skin of the affected areais being
injected and the area will experience over 80% less sweating lasting 6-12
months.
Other possible treatments include:
1. Aluminium Chloride,
2. iontophoresis
3. medications
4. antidepressants.
5. surgery (Sympatectomy, axillary liposuction).
The procedure is safe & effective and performed with minimal discomfort
as a walk in-walk out procedure usually taking less than 30 minutes. If
excessive sweating is affecting your life, please call us up for an
appointment for an assessment.
