Hyperhidrosis

Treatment varies, depending on the severity of the problem. In most cases, the doctor gives oral medication before suggesting invasive options such as surgery.

Tips to help you reduce sweating and body odor

• Bath regularly to reduce the bacteria on the skin.

• Dry the feet thoroughly after a bath. Microorganisms thrive in the damp spaces between the toes.

• Use foot powders to help absorb sweat.

• Wear shoes and socks made of natural materials. Shoes made of leather help prevent sweaty feet by allowing the feet to breathe.

• Try not to wear the same pair of shoes the next since they may not dry completely overnight.

• Wear cotton clothes that allow the skin to absorb sweat.

• Relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation may help control stress that causes perspiration
