Windsor Dermatology Shares How to Reduce Hyperhidrosis

Sweating is a normal bodily function, however, about 8 million Americans suffer from hyperhidrosis. If you are one of the 8 million, you might be wondering how you can reduce hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating. Windsor Dermatology would like to provide you with some tips to help

Put deodorant on in the afternoon

Did you know that sweat production is at its lowest at night? Applying deodorant in the late afternoon will give your body an increased chance to absorb the active ingredients and block sweat in the morning. As long as the antiperspirant has absorbed into your skin, you won’t have to worry about it washing away in the shower.

Use deodorant in other areas, besides your armpits

If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, you know that sweating in your armpits is only one of the locations where you excessively perspire. Consider spraying deodorant on your hands, feet, and chest to reduce the sweating.

Purchase extra strength deodorant

Consider purchasing extra strength deodorant to limit your sweating. Many brands offer clinical strength formulas, without a prescription, that work effectively to keep sweat at bay.

Stay away from spicy food and caffeine

 Although you may enjoy spicy foods and a strong coffee, it is best to stay away from them. If you are trying to reduce sweating, those foods will stimulate your sweat glands, leading to an increased amount of sweat.

See a board-certified dermatologist

If nothing is working to minimize sweating, make an appointment to see a board-certified dermatologist at Windsor Dermatology. The doctors can talk to you about prescription medication to help reduce sweating.

Think about long-lasting treatments

If you have tried your best to minimize sweating by staying away from spicy food and caffeine and wearing an extra strength deodorant, but have not noticed a change in your sweating, it might be time to think about longer-lasting treatments. This can include receiving Botox injections.
