The exact cause of excessive sweating often remains unclear. That said, you can effectively manage it by opting for breathable natural fabrics instead of synthetics and incorporating regular physical activity. Avoid garlic, spicy foods, coffee, tea, and cola in your diet. No need to cut back on water—it won't impact sweating. Instead, consider herbal teas or sage-based supplements, along with antibacterial soaps (like Dermalibour from A-Derma), and deodorants or creams with aluminum salts (such as Etiaxil from Cooper or SVR Spirial).
Consult a dermatologist for expert guidance. For hand or foot sweating, options may include iontophoresis sessions (immersing the area in a tray with mild electric current) or botulinum toxin injections. Note: Sudden onset in adulthood often signals an underlying issue like thyroid problems or diabetes—seek evaluation promptly.
