Excessive Sweating Treatment in Saudi Arabia

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterized by abnormal and profuse sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the palms, soles, underarms, and face, and can be both socially and physically burdensome. Hyperhidrosis can be categorized into two main types: primary focal hyperhidrosis, which is localized and often starts in childhood or adolescence, and secondary generalized hyperhidrosis, which is usually caused by an underlying medical condition or medication.

Symptoms of hyperhidrosis include visible and excessive sweating in affected areas, often leading to damp clothing and slippery hands. This can result in social embarrassment, anxiety, and reluctance to engage in everyday activities. Affected individuals might also experience skin maceration, a condition where the skin becomes soft and breaks down due to prolonged moisture exposure. In severe cases, hyperhidrosis can lead to fungal or bacterial infections due to prolonged dampness and irritation of the skin.

Treatment for hyperhidrosis can vary based on the severity and underlying cause. Topical antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride are commonly recommended for mild cases and can help reduce sweating. For more severe cases, medical professionals might suggest treatments like iontophoresis, which uses electrical currents to reduce sweating, or Botox injections that temporarily block the nerves responsible for sweating. Oral medications such as anticholinergics may also be prescribed to reduce sweating systemically. In extreme cases, surgical interventions like sympathectomy, which involves cutting or clamping nerves that cause sweating, may be considered. Consulting a healthcare provider is crucial to determining the most suitable treatment plan for managing hyperhidrosis effectively.
