Question 2

i have excessive sweating help please?

Accepted Answer

Could be hormonal: Hi. Of course you're in a hot place in a warming world. Hormone problems that can cause sweating include hyperthyroidism and pheochromocytoma (pheo is very rare; hyperthyroidism not so rare). Some people have idiopathic hyperhydrosis (people sweating excessively for no known reason). Is this a change for you, or have you always been a sweater? Any other symptoms?

Question 5

Lots of things: How i caught on that i had tb. If it's really and truly a night sweat, get seen by your physician now. We don't want to miss endocarditis, tb, or something else really nasty-but-treatable.

Question 6

should i try driclor for excessive sweating and smelling?

Accepted Answer

Sweating: I am not familiar with the product which you referenced, but there is one called drysol, which is extraordinarily effective if used in their correct way. This is to be applied to the absolutely dry armpit at nighttime and that is the most efficient way to use it. Your doctor will tell you other techniques for potentiating this medicine or making it stronger.

Question 7

excessive sweating without any reason?

Accepted Answer

Hyperhidrosis: Sometimes this is due to disease such as over active thyroid. You do not mention any other symptoms, so you probably have genetically determined hyperhidrosis. A dermatologist can evaluate and perhaps help you. Usually the condition is limited to a specific area such as the palms or armpits. There are a variety of approaches to therapy.

Botox for sweating: Botox injections into the armpit have been shown to be very effective for treating excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis. The effect seems to last 6-9 months.

Question 9

do hydrocephalus cause excessive sweating?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: To my knowledge I have not encounter a patient with hydrocephalus that has suffered from excessive sweating - a review of the literature does not show that to be common or an uncommon problem for that matter.

Question 10

will using baby powder prevent excessive sweating?

Accepted Answer

No.: Talcum powder will absorb sweat that has already been excreted, but it cannot prevent sweating; your sweat glands don't know whether you are applying powder or not. Several preventative treatments, both topical and oral, are available, but most require a prescription.
