All About Sweaty Palms
Palmar Hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive sweating in hands.
Sweaty palms, also known as palmar hyperhidrosis, is a condition that causes excessive sweating in the hands. It can be an embarrassing problem for many people, but it is treatable.
This can manifest as clammy or wet hands, difficulty shaking hands with others, difficulty gripping items such as pens, increased heart rate or shortness of breath. These symptoms can lead to social anxiety, stress, and embarrassment.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for sweaty palms. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes such as avoiding triggers that make the condition worse and reducing stress levels; medications or antiperspirants to reduce perspiration; Iontophoresis treatment and even surgery procedures such as sympathectomy in more extreme cases. With the right help, you can manage your sweaty palms and live a happier, more comfortable life.

Iontophoresis is a safe and effective treatment for sweaty palms. It is a process that uses electrical currents to block the sweat glands from releasing excess sweat. It can be used in both primary and secondary hyperhidrosis, depending on the cause of the condition. The procedure does not require any anesthesia or sedation, and it typically takes about 10-30 minutes to complete. After treatment, patients may experience temporary numbness or tingling in their hands but this will usually go away within a few hours after treatment.
Iontophoresis works by sending low electric pulses through water-filled trays containing electrodes which are placed on each hand. The electricity temporarily blocks the sweat glands from producing too much sweat without causing any permanent damage to the skin. It is not a one-time solution and usually requires multiple treatments, typically 2-3 times per week for 3-4 weeks.
Iontophoresis has been used effectively to treat sweaty palms in many people and can provide long lasting results with minimal side effects. However, results may vary from person to person and it is important to speak with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.
Neurotoxin injections are one of the treatments available for those living with sweaty palms. This treatment involves injecting a neurotoxin into the patient’s sweat glands which blocks the nerves that trigger them to produce sweat. Neurotoxins injections only need to be administered every six months, and can provide temporary relief from excessive sweating in the targeted area. However, some patients may require multiple sessions before receiving effective results.
The neurotoxin injection procedure is quick, relatively safe and generally free of side effects when injected by an experienced doctor. It is important to consult with a medical professional like Dr Kan before undergoing any type of treatment in order to ensure that you receive personalised care tailored to your specific needs.
Sympathectomy is a surgical procedure to treat certain physical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). In this procedure, the sympathetic nervous system which typically produces sweat is blocked in order to reduce or stop excessive sweating.
The surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr Kan and usually takes up to an hour to complete. During the process, the nerves responsible for producing sweat are severed and/or clamped so that they can no longer stimulate the sweat glands and produce sweat. The entire surgical process is considered relatively simple with most patients returning back to work the next day after their surgery.
While sympathectomy has been useful and successful in some cases, it should be noted that there are potential risks and side effects that come along with this procedure. One of the common side effect includes compensatory sweating in other areas of the body as a result of the surgery.
It is important to discuss all potential risks related to sympathectomy with your doctor prior to the procedure in order to make sure you are well informed about the possible outcomes. Overall, sympathectomy can be effective for those dealing with severe instances of hyperhidrosis who have not had success with other treatments.
Living with sweaty palms can be difficult, especially when it comes to social situations. For many people, sweaty palms can cause embarrassment and lead to social anxiety or even depression. Kids and teenagers are particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of sweaty palms as they may feel excluded from activities such as sports and art due to their discomfort with other people’s reactions.
It is important for those living with sweaty palms to have access to resources that help them manage their condition. With the right help, sweaty palms can be managed and those affected can live a happy, healthy life. Seeking advice from medical professionals as well as family and friends is important in order to ensure that every individual has access to the resources they need to manage their sweaty palms.
For more information on sweaty palms and ways on how to manage them, you can consult with a medical professional like Dr Kan. Knowing what causes sweaty palms can help you find the right treatment for your condition and help you manage sweaty palms in a safe and effective way.
Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating in certain parts of the body. It can be classified as either primary or secondary hyperhidrosis, depending on what is causing the excessive sweating.
Primary Hyperhidrosis
Primary hyperhidrosis affects specific areas of the body and tends to start during childhood or adolescence. This type of hyperhidrosis is caused by overactive sweat glands, and it commonly occurs on the hands, feet, face, underarms, and scalp. Primary hyperhidrosis may also be more severe in one area than another.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis
Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, thyroid disease, medication side effects, an infection or cancer. Secondary hyperhidrosis tends to occur all over the body, and it may also be more severe in areas with higher concentrations of sweat glands.
Some other causes include genetics, stress, and hormonal imbalances issues.
- Genetics is thought to play a role in sweaty palms, as some people are simply predisposed to it due to their family history.
- Stress can also increase or worsen sweaty palms as our body produces cortisol, which leads to increased perspiration.
- Hormonal imbalances, such as those caused by menopause or pregnancy, can also lead to sweaty palms due to changes in hormone levels.
