Excessive sweating on hands and feet - #11295

Jithin

My hands and feet are always sweating without any reason. I have been facing this issue for past 4 years. I tried antiperspirant medicine but it didn't show any results. I always have to carry my towel with me.

Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Lifestyle & Self-care

Avoid triggers: caffeine, spicy food, smoking.

Use talcum powder or absorbent powder on hands/feet during the day.

Wear cotton socks & breathable shoes. Change often.

Keep small tissue or handkerchief (instead of towel, easier to manage).

Visit dermatologist and can enquire about aluminum chloride lotion

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, especially on your hands and feet, can be quite a disruptive condition. Although you’ve tried antiperspirant medicine without success, there are several alternatives to consider. Hyperhidrosis can sometimes be a secondary symptom of underlying issues like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or menopause, but often it can occur without any specific cause—referred to as primary hyperhidrosis. If you haven’t already, consulting a healthcare provider can help you rule out these conditions. Assuming primary hyperhidrosis is the case, in-office treatments like iontophoresis might be an option. This involves using water and a gentle electrical current to reduce sweating, typically effective for hands and feet. Sessions are often needed a few times a week initially with maintenance as necessary. In more severe cases, botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can block the nerves responsible for sweat production, offering relief for several months. Oral medications such as anticholinergics can also be effective, though they may have side effects like dry mouth or blurred vision. Surgery is usually a last resort and carries its own risks, so it’s generally reserved for extreme cases. Lifestyle modifications, like wearing loose, breathable clothing, or using absorbent shoe inserts, can help manage symptoms daily. Some find relaxation techniques beneficial to reduce sweat triggered by anxiety or stress. Providing your doctor with a complete history of your symptoms and any potential triggers can assist in tailoring a more effective treatment plan, but pursuing medical attention can pinpoint specific solutions tailored for you since treatment can be highly individual.
