Why it happens
The nerves that switch sweat glands on can be overactive, so the glands run when the body does not need cooling.
It often starts in adolescence and it commonly runs in families.
Anxiety makes it worse, which makes the anxiety worse, which is part of why people find it hard to raise.
How you know
- Sweat that soaks through clothing regardless of temperature
- Choosing what to wear around the problem
- Antiperspirants that stopped working, or never did
If more than one of these sounds like you, that is normal. Most people have two or three things happening at once, which is part of why he assesses before recommending anything.
What he uses for heavy sweating
Which of these suits you, and whether any of them does, is decided at the consultation. He will say if none of them is right rather than book one.
Common questions about heavy sweating
Is this the same injection used for lines?
Yes, the same medication, placed into the sweat glands instead of the muscle. It stops the signal that switches them on.
How long does it last?
Several months. Most people repeat it around three times a year.
Will I sweat more somewhere else?
Treating one area does not make the body sweat elsewhere to compensate in the way people expect. He will go through what to expect for the area you want treated.
Please read This page describes heavy sweating in general terms. It is not medical advice and it is not a diagnosis. What is causing yours, and what would help it, can only be decided by Dr Sultan after he has examined you.
