Perspiration is a process by which a body produces liquids excreted by excretory glands like sweat glands. Perspiration, which is simply known as sweating (or sometimes transpiration) is a normal process. It may sometimes make us look and feel messy but it is not a problem. However, if they always occur within the normal condition then there might be a problem. Though sweating is normal but frequent excessive sweating is never normal. It may not be deadly but it will make us feel uncomfortable.
Excessive sweating or also known as hyperhidrosis is a health problem wherein a person will sweat too much when in fact everyone else is not sweating. You will know that you have hyperhidrosis if, under normal conditions, you are sweating too much. It is not hyperhidrosis if you are just sweating because your are doing heavy loads. Hyperhidrosis (or excessive sweating) is due to the fact that a person s sweat glands are not functioning properly.
Hyperhidrosis can target different parts of the body. Some people are experiencing palmar hyperhidrosis. Palmar hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating of the hands. Others have plantar hyperhidrosis or simply saying excessive sweating of the feet. These two are problems but some people find it easy to hide them. There is also what we called axilliary hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating of underarm. This can cause another problem since axilliary hyperhidrosis can result to bad odor.
Other related types of hyperhidrosis are head and facial sweating. Head sweating can result to bad odor and damp hair. Sometimes, sweat on the head will roll down the face so sometimes some people will think that once a person have excessive head sweating he will also have facial sweating. Excessive head and facial sweating are both embarrassing because you cannot hide it. It basically means that you have to always bring along a handkerchief and wipe your face. For women, facial sweating can result to messy makeup. Thus, they will always take time to retouch their makeup a number of times. Thus it is important to really solve it.
However, it is not good to just jump into a decision of buying something over the internet or somewhere else. This solution will not always solve your problem. It can even worsen it. So, how can you solve excessive sweating (e.g. facial sweating)?
Before finding the solution, it is important to know the cause. First, consider if it is something hereditary in your case. If you have, for example, facial sweating, are you the one in the family suffering from it? If there are other members of the family who also have it, then this might be something which is hereditary in your case. Are you obese or have too much weight? If so, then your hyperhidrosis can be due to this. Or are you alcoholic? Or do you have thyroid disorder? If you answered “yes” to any of these last two questions, then it has cause excessive sweating.
So, how can you solve it? There are so many ways. However, healthy diet, consultation to your doctors can help a lot. Most importantly, drink a lot of water to replace lost liquids.
