You may be suffering from primary palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, a condition where nerves overactivate sweat glands. Consult a dermatologist for treatments like iontophoresis, Botox injections, or minor surgery, which are often more effective than medicines.
Hello dear Please be aware I think you are having ectodermal dysplasia which is a genetic disorder You must contact a good endocrinologist for better recovery However,as a dentist I can say replacement of underdeveloped teeth will offer good prognosis Regards
Managing hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, especially when it involves the hands and feet, can indeed be challenging, but there are several modern and evidence-based options you might consider. First, it’s important to explore pharmacological treatments which can help manage symptoms. Prescription antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride are often recommended as a first line. These might be more effective if applied at night when sweating is less active. If topical solutions aren’t resolving the issue, oral medications like anticholinergics might be considered, though it’s worth noting these have potential side effects such as dry mouth or dizziness. For some individuals, iontophoresis can prove beneficial—this is a process where a mild electrical current is passed through water and into the skin’s surface—conducted approximately three times per week initially. If you continue to experience difficulty with these methods, Botox (botulinum toxin) injections have shown success in cases of localized hyperhidrosis; the effects typically lasting a few months. In certain persistent cases and depending on individual patient assessment, surgical options such as sympathectomy, which disrupts nerve signals to sweat glands, may be considered, but it comes with its own set of risks and is usually a last resort due to potential complications. Keeping stress levels under control can also impact the amount of sweating, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or yoga might offer additional support. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and how they impact your life, consulting a dermatologist experienced in hyperhidrosis can provide you with personalized guidance and access to specific treatment options that might be best suited to your needs. Each treatment varies in efficacy and side effects, so collaborating closely with your healthcare provider on a tailored plan is essential.
