Understanding Hyperhidrosis: When Every Step Feels Damp
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. Sweaty feet, or plantar hyperhidrosis, is a common form of this condition, affecting many individuals who may experience perspiration even without physical activity or heat exposure. This can lead to embarrassment, discomfort, and secondary issues like fungal infections, blisters, and foot odor. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, genetics, hormonal changes, medications, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disorders can contribute to hyperhidrosis.
Key symptoms to watch for:
- Excessive sweating in the feet
- Persistent foot odor
- Increased risk of skin infections
- Discomfort in shoes
