Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating without a clear reason – more than needed for temperature regulation. It affects palms, soles, armpits, or the face. Here you can read about causes, symptoms, and treatment options, including PediSpray® for sweaty feet.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Sweating regulates your body temperature. In hyperhidrosis, the body produces more sweat than necessary. Primary hyperhidrosis has no clear cause – often overactive nerve signals. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by medications, diabetes, thyroid problems, menopause, or infections.

Symptoms
Saturated clothing, wet palms and soles, constant sweating even at rest. Night sweats, skin problems, unpleasant odour. Sometimes cold or clammy skin. Consult a doctor or dermatologist for persistent complaints.
Treatment of hyperhidrosis
Antiperspirants with aluminium chloride temporarily block sweat glands. For feet: PediSpray® or PediFris® Classic. Other options: iontophoresis (hands/feet), Botox injections (armpits), medication. Avoid synthetic clothing, ensure good hygiene.
For sweaty feet: aluminium chloride or camphor (PediSpray®) strengthens the skin and reduces sweat. Wear breathable socks and shoes. Seek advice from a dermatologist for the best approach.
