Sweating is one of the ways your body has of cooling itself. Your body releases moisture, which cools the skin as it evaporates. Normal sweating is a sign that your body is doing exactly as it should. \n\nWhen is sweating a problem? \n\nExcessive sweating, or hyperhydrosis, affects about one percent of the population. Under stress, those suffering from hyperhydrosis will experience extreme sweatiness under their arms, on their faces, and on their hands and feet. No one knows why stress triggers so much more sweating in some people than in others. While it isn't a health problem, it can be embarrassing and interfere with a person's ability to work in high-stress situations. \n\nIf, however, you sweat constantly and all over your body, you should see a doctor immediately. This can be a symptom of a serious health problem. \n\nSince sweating is part of the body's way to regulate itself, hypohydrosis, or the absence of sweat, can also indicate a problem. If you have a headache, confusion, numbness, rapid pulse and breathing, raised blood pressure, and are not sweating, you could have heat stroke. Get cooled down immediately and seek medical help. Not sweating is also an indication of dehydration due to diarrhea, diuretics, and other factors. Be certain to maintain water levels in the body by drinking extra water if this is a problem.

I had a friend whos hands would litterally drip sweat. I must admit that there was something kind of kinky about it, when it came to holding hands with her.  But they were truely soaking, dripping wet, and she was pretty open about the fact that it was an embarassment, as well as an inconvience for her.  Her feet had the same problem too, and all her leather shoes were stained as well.\n\n  This did not seem to be related to stress, as she was a pretty self-confident person, but there may have been an ellement of neveriousness involved that she just did not tell me about.\n\n   The point being.....it really is a condition that other people get.\n\n  In her case, she was able to take a medication that kept it under control, and as far as I know, did not have to undego any kind of invasive opperation.\n\n   Check with your family Doctor, or a skin Doctor.\n\n   They are likely to know just what it is.\n\n     Bob J.

It was pretty  impractical for them to do so. They were without running water, it all had to be collected from the local well, which as often as not, was polluted. Many diseases killed millions due to contaminated water. Cholera, Typhoid etc.\nThe inclement weather added to the discomfort, soap wasn't readily available either. When the weather did turn nice, it was a quick dip in the nearest river, and that was it.\nMany traditions were started during that period. One that continues to this day, although not for the same reasons, is that Brides carry flowers.\nThis originally to hide their body odor. Usually the first bath of the year, was in May, when following winter, it was beginning to warm up. Most marriages occurred in \nJune, and as you can guess, the bride's odor was a bit gamy, shall we say. \nMost couples married in June, to facilitate, the birth of their first born in the following spring.Giving their first born a better chance of survival.\nThe weather, didn't help, the children born in winter. Due to the cold, and poor heating in their homes, many an infant died. So child mortality, was something they had to consider as well.

Here are some answers:\n\nExcessive Perspiration\n\nQ:  My 23 year old son has regular problems with excessive perspiration under his arms. He has been dealing with this problem since his teen years. There is not really an objectionable odor, but he just gets very wet at times. There seems to be no nervousness or anxiety that causes this. \n\nAbout 2 years ago, our family physician gave him a prescription for an anti-perspiration product which caused burning and itching. Is there something else on the market? Are there oral medications that might alleviate the symptoms? Would a specialist be able to help? \n\n\n\nA:  Sweating is the body's way of cooling itself, but it can also be a response to emotional stress. Excessive sweating usually involves the armpits, palms of the hands and soles of the feet, and reflects increased impulses from the central nervous system (beyond our conscious control). There usually is no underlying problem with the sweat glands or brain. \n\nThe good news is that there are several options for your son to try. Brad Straka, MD, a dermatology resident at the Medical College of Wisconsin, recommends the use of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol). One to three treatments a week for a few weeks should result in improvement , and then one treatment a week should suffice to maintain dryness. This is a prescription anti-perspirant and if this is the same one that caused irritation for your son, he could try aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac), a less potent solution. \n\nA unique treatment is the use of electrical current (iontophoresis) to block the activity of the sweat glands. The device (Drionic) is used daily for a week and may relieve sweating for up to a month! Oral medications have been used, but usually result in undesireable side effects, such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and urinary retention. If none of these options work, liposuction of the sweat glands can be performed. \n\nA dermatologist will be able to work with your son in finding the best treatment for him. \n\n\nArticle Created: 2000-04-13\nArticle Reviewed: 2000-04-14\n\n"Dear Doctor" is a compilation of patient questions answered by doctors from the Medical College of Wisconsin. \n \n \n  \n \nHome | About HealthLink |  Medical College of Wisconsin |  ClinicLink |  Clinical Trials\nContact Information |  Site Map |  Disclaimer |  Privacy |  Copyright Notice \n\n© 2003 Medical College of Wisconsin

Maybe you have hyperhydrosis.\n\n\nHyperhidrosis The best treatment is knowledge. \nHyperhidrosis is a medical condition described as: sweating beyond what is necessary to cool the body. The most common areas affected are the hands, feet, groin, face and underarms.\n\nHyperhidrosis can have a serious impact on self-confidence, personal relationships and even career success. But today’s treatments offer hope. Innovative surgical and non-surgical approaches allow you to specifically treat the affected area painlessly and easily.\n\nThere are two types of Hyperhidrosis. \n1) Focal Hyperhidrosis or Primary Hyperhidrosis affects local areas such as the underarms, palms, feet and face. It is caused by a malfunction within the sympathetic nervous system that causes an over-stimulation of the nerve to release a chemical called acetylcholine which over-activates the eccrine gland (sweat gland) to produce more sweat.\n\n2) Generalized Hyperhidrosis or Secondary Hyperhidrosis usually affects the entire body. It is caused by other conditions such as menopause, metabolic disorders, neurological disorders, infections, etc.\n\nCheck the seriousness of your Hyperhidrosis:\n\n\nHyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS)\nMy sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is tolerable but sometimes \ninterferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activities\nMy sweating is intolerable and always\ninterferes with my daily activities\nYour score will help your sweat specialist diagnose Hyperhidrosis.

Humidity affects indirectly, probably as related to sweating to rid of fluid.  But your kidneys are the main fluid eliminators, usually through a salt exchange. You need to know what the salt-ie sodium and potassium levels are, as well as your protein in your blood. Your hormones can be involved, as well as circulation of your blood and lymphatics. Blood pressure could be involved.Support stockings may help if everything else checks out OK.

The first antiperspirant patented was in 1888, a brand called MUM.  At this time, people didn't bathe very often and used heavy colognes or perfumes to mask their odor.  MUM was created as something to help with this.  \n\nThis first product was very messy and hard to use, however.  A few years after it came on the market, Everdry came out with the first antiperspirant to use aluminum chloride--much easier to use.  Within fifteen years of that date, there were all sorts of similar products on the market, indicating that more and more people were buying them.  \n\nSo to answer your question--they probably came into popular use around the turn of the century (a few years after the first product was placed on the market).  And every years since then, more people started to use them, until they had reached to most people in the US.

Ooooh....Palmer Hyperhydrosis! It's genetic. You simply have overactive sweat glands in the palms of your hands. Carry a cloth or paper towel with you. Otherwise...calm down, take it easy...control your heartrate and center your emotions.

Hi! If the sweating is really intense then you suffer from Hyperhydrosis (I do too, I know aaaall about it)\nYou need a stronger antiperspirant.  The regular ones will not do much to your problem, try at the pharmacy, and ask for Drysol.  This is a strong antiperspirant that you put at night and you will not sweat a drop during the day!!  I use it and works like a charm, no more dripping with embarrassing sweat and awful sweat stains.  Try it!
