A member asked:

I have hyperhidrosis (hands, feet). 2-4x a year i get sweat blisters & hives. then my hands crack and peel. is this normal? what can i do about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overactive: Sympathetic nervous system. It might be genetic but the hives suggests that it might be as simple as poor diet because that affects the control mechanisms in the lower brain.Sugar is often the villain.
