Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Everyone sweats. When we’re hot, exercising, or nervous — we sweat. That’s completely normal. However, if you feel like you sweat more than normal in a way that interferes with your daily life or causes embarrassment without being hot or exerting excessive energy, it could be due to a medical condition known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for when a person suffers from extreme sweating, even when they aren’t hot or overexerting themselves. People who have hyperhidrosis usually experience heavy sweating in the hands, face, feet, or armpits or, more broadly, throughout the entire body. Affecting males and females alike, hyperhidrosis due to overactive sweat glands leads to excessive perspiration that might appear on clothing or cause sweat to drip from your hands. While not a life-threatening condition, this problem often leads to decreased self-esteem and emotional troubles for those who deal with it. You can’t flourish if you’re stressing about sweat, which is why Dr. Payne at Flourish Dermatology And Aesthetics is proud to offer effective treatments for individuals dealing with hyperhidrosis in New Orleans, LA.
