my daughter who is 4 years old always has sweaty hands and feet and has done for the past year.?

Question

is it just part of growing up or should i take her to the docter.

Answer 1

My cousin has the same problem. It's called hyperhidrosis and is mainly treated by a small operation under the arm, severing the nerve which controls the sweat glands in the lower body. However, surgery is a big step and is usually only performed once you're over puberty as these things occasionaly disappear then. And of course it has side effects.

Iontophoresis is another option, which is basically sitting with the hands or feet in a bath where a very small electric current is passed through. However, my advice would be to go to the doctor and see what they suggest.

Hey there,
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. 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.
Excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Persons 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 is called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. In most 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 in one area.

A friend of mine suffered with this from the age of 3 right up until her teens when she had an operation to block the sweat ducts in her hands/feet. Most children grow out of this problem though.

I don't think there is much you can do really! I am like that and I am 25 years old! I have really sweaty palms. I cant hold hands cause they just get so clammy! You may want to mention it to her doctor, I think they have cream for this. But Its normal, so don't freak out.
