People with hyperhidrosis need to bathe or shower often, sometimes 2-3 times a day. After each bath, make sure and dry thoroughly before getting dressed.
Take Care of Your Feet
If your feet are the source of your sweating, there are several things that you can do to help. Here are some options:
• Wash and dry your feet daily.
• Use foot powders and/or sprays.
• Wear socks made of natural fibers, and change them often.
• Wear shoes made of 100% leather.
Airy Clothing
The type of clothing you wear can greatly help with excessive sweating. Light and easily breathable shirts and pants will reduce sweating and odor.
Relaxation
If your excessive sweating comes from stress and nervousness, you may find relief through relaxation techniques. These techniques can help with things like shyness and anxiety.
Drink Water
If you have hyperhidrosis, it’s very important to drink plenty of water. It can be very easy to dehydrate, so familiarize yourself with dehydration symptoms, so that you can act fast if you need to.
Cautions
Very rarely, excessive sweating can be dangerous. Call your doctor if any of the following occur along with the sweating:
• Fever
• Weight loss
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Rapid pounding heartbeat
