аѕkеԁ: I аm 14 аnԁ suffer frοm palmer (hand) аnԁ planter (foot) Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). i wаѕ wondering, саn drinking more water hеƖр reduce excess sweating bу cooling thе body down, οr јυѕt mаkе more water available fοr sweating? Thanks!
No, but it can avoid dehydration when this occurs. It does not help to restrict water either. Treatments such as aluminum chloride antiperspirants , medications such as oxybutynin or glycopyrrolate have been helpful to stop sweat production and botox injections have been very helpful although somewhat costly and they have to be repeated periodically. A more permanent treatment called endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is a surgical procedure that can also help. I recommend you see a dermatologist for help with this condition if you haven’t already.
