Hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet Clinical: Normal sweating of the hands and feet is a normal physiological response. However, if the sweating of the hands and feet is excessive, it is a functional localized abnormal sweating of unknown origin. Excessive sweating of the hands and feet is also known as “hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet” or “hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet”. The secretion of sweat glands is controlled by sympathetic nerves, and hand sweating is caused by unexplained sympathetic overstimulation, such as tension, excitement, stress, or abnormal increases in palm sweating due to summer heat, as well as increased secretion of choline acetate due to sympathetic nerve damage or abnormal reactions, resulting in excessive sweating from small sweat glands. Hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet is sympathetic hyperexcitation, but often causes distress at school, work or socially and seeks medical treatment. Patients’ palms are wet most of the time, and chronically moist hands often cause easy peeling, which is an obstacle to appearance. Young people of school age often have a lot of sweaty hands that make their exam papers wet and affect their exams, often before the papers are even written. Teenagers are afraid to hold hands with others, and even shaking hands is a problem. In severe cases, eczema dermatitis may even appear on the palms of their hands. In adulthood, this can cause inconvenience in work and social activities. Patients with hyperhidrosis often have a combination of foot sweating, and the sweat is usually odorless, unlike fox odor. In contrast, patients with fox odor (underarm sweating odor) are more genetically related, mainly because of the developed sebaceous glands in the armpits, and the incidence is higher than that of hand sweating, which also causes more common problems. For example, there are always yellow stains on clothes that cannot be washed away, and they are afraid to wear sleeveless tops. Hyperhidrosis patients always have sweaty, wet and cold palms, soles and armpits, regardless of the summer heat or cold weather, and sometimes sweat in the form of dripping beads, which is even more serious when emotionally stressed. Often when writing to get the paper wet, typing to drip wet keyboard, more afraid to shake hands with others. Patients with hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet may sweat profusely in crowds, during meetings and presentations, when meeting strangers, when meeting acquaintances and leaders, when they are nervous and excited, when exercising, when meeting the opposite sex, when talking about sensitive topics, and sometimes, inexplicably, when they have sweaty palms, etc. Excessive sweating of the hands and feet can seriously affect school, social life, and work and cause great distress. Hyperhidrosis can occur from a young age (around 6 years old) and becomes more pronounced in adolescence. The most troubling symptoms are excessive sweating on the palms of the hands, armpits, and feet. The more anxious you are, the more you sweat, creating a vicious cycle. This may cause patients to be withdrawn, introverted, not good with people, lack of confidence in social situations, and even low self-esteem, which can also affect learning and job hunting. The actual fact is that you can find out the cause of the sweating in your hands and feet and determine whether it is primary or secondary sweating. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by certain diseases such as tuberculosis, rickets, some patients with systemic diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes and mental disorders will occur secondary hand sweating. However, secondary hyperhidrosis will be accompanied by other symptoms in addition to excessive sweating. Second, if it is primary hyperhidrosis, please do not be nervous. The first is to relax psychologically, sweating is only an individual difference, if there is no great impact on learning, work and life, you can not deal with. The following methods can be taken depending on the size of the impact: light impact: 1, keep your hands and feet clean and dry. 2, with 5% alum solution daily dip local, as well as with pine, eucalyptus leaf decoction dip. 3, the method of Chinese medicine fumigation: Cang Zhu, bitter ginseng, yellow cypress, ground skin, white fresh skin, gypsum, Sichuan mother, dahurica, mugwort, licorice and other Chinese medicine boiled into a medicinal juice, first with hot steam feet for about 10 minutes, and then soak for about 20 minutes, with the effect of clearing heat and cooling the blood, can prevent a lot of sweating. 4, wear breathable loose shoes and socks, which help evaporation of sweat and avoid causing skin problems such as foot odor and dermatitis. The serious impact on the hand: it is recommended that surgery, that is, surgical treatment surgical treatment to control the sweat glands of the hand sympathetic nerve is located in the second and third section of the thoracic vertebrae, which is located about the nipple line, and then a little higher on both sides of the back vertebrae, as long as the sympathetic nerve of these two sections will be cut off, you can achieve the purpose of the hand does not sweat. The surgical treatment of hand sweating is indeed effective, and after the hand sweating stops, some will develop compensatory sweating. The compensatory sweating is often wet on the back of individuals who have severe compensatory sweating. Except in particularly cold weather, compensatory sweating persists and does not decrease with time, but may increase. This is one of the most intolerable sequelae after surgery.
