Is sweating a disease? I got a terrible sweating problem.?

Question

I get easy to sweat when talking to a stranger. It is so serious until all my clothes, face, hair got wet. People even thought it was rain out there.
Is it considered a disease? Does it has any cure?

Answer 1

I actually think you can have hyperactive glands. Go see the doc, I know they make special deoderant (Certain Dry --- even though that's not your area), so I assume they have some sort of treatment. If you're willing to go extreme - I believe they can treat it with Botox. See a doctor, you're not the only one ;-)

Answer 3

You may want to go talk to a dermatologist or doctor about this problem and get it checked out whenever possible. There is a disease called hyper hydrosis (the sweating disease) in which your body produces more perspiration than is needed to cool the body and maintain body temperature.

Hyperhidrosis can either be generalized or localized to specific parts of the body. Hands, feet, axillae, and the groin area are among the most active regions of perspiration due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands; however, any part of body may be affected. Primary hyperhidrosis is found to start during adolescence or even before, and interestingly, seems to be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait.

Primary hyperhidrosis must be distinguished from secondary hyperhidrosis, which can start at any point in life. The latter form may be due to a disorder of the thyroid or pituitary gland, diabetes mellitus, tumors, gout, menopause or certain drugs.

Hyperhidrosis can usually be treated, but no cure is available.

I've included a few links below with source information about the subject.

Hope this helps. :)

Definition Return to top

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis can sweat even when the temperature is cool, and when they are at rest.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top

Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.

However, excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Those with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional.

When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it's called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis affects 2%-3% of the population, yet less than 40% of patients with this condition seek medical advice. In the majority of primary hyperhidrosis cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.

If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body, or it may be localized to one area. Conditions that cause second hyperhidrosis include:

acromegaly
hyperthyroidism
glucose control disorders
pheochromocytoma
carcinoid syndrome
cancer
tuberculosis or other infections
menopause
spinal cord injury
stroke
Parkinson’s disease
heart or lung disease
certain medications and substances of abuse
anxiety conditions

Answer 5

Hey,
Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea means excessive sweating; sweating too much
The most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to overactive sweat glands that affect certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face or underarms.
This form of hyperhidrosis can't be prevented and isn't contagious because it was probably inherited (although the condition may skip a generation). Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is total body
sweating prompted by secondary medical conditions or medications.

Answer 6

Sounds like you may have a problem with hyperhidrosis as suggested by others - but ONLY when under stress.....

Perhaps you may practice with a friend sample encounters you would expect to have with strangers. This will help you get over the fear that CAUSES the sweating.

It is always better to take care of causes of the problem, in this case anxiety related to meeting strangers - than it is to alter the body. A body once altered, cannot be unaltered - and if the results are bad, you are stuck with the results. Save alterations - such as botox, for a "last try" type of thing.

Answer 7

It is due to overactive sympathetic nerve system.
1. facial blushing -erythrophobia
2. facial sweating - facial hyperhidrosis
3. Underarm sweating - axillary hyperhidrosis
4. Excessive handsweat/- palmar hyperhidrosis
Palms

These can be treated with simple surgical procedure done by American Institute of Hyperhidrosis.
