Understanding Excessive Feet Sweating

Excessive foot sweating, medically referred to as plantar hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterised by ongoing and persistent sweating of the feet beyond what the body requires to regulate temperature. Unlike typical sweating triggered by exercise or heat, plantar hyperhidrosis occurs without clear cause, affecting individuals of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

Sweating is a normal bodily function designed to help maintain a healthy body temperature. However, for individuals experiencing hyperhidrosis, the sweating becomes excessive, constant, and disruptive to everyday comfort. This can significantly impact daily activities, footwear choices, and participation in social or professional situations.

Plantar hyperhidrosis can lead to discomfort and concern about visible signs, such as damp footwear, socks, or noticeable footprints, as well as concerns about odour. Over time, these concerns may result in increased anxiety, self-consciousness, and avoidance of specific situations or social interactions.

Understanding the underlying factors and available treatment options for excessive sweating can help individuals manage symptoms effectively. Professional consultations can identify suitable non-surgical treatments tailored to reduce sweating, improve comfort, and enhance overall quality of life.

Excessive Feet Sweating Treatment Options

Our doctors provide consultations for the management of excessive feet sweating. There are various methods of treatment or alleviation for excessive foot sweating. However, they don’t all treat the root cause of the problem. Some merely provide temporary relief from discomfort, and they don’t provide a long-term solution in the way that injectables or laser treatments can.

  • Over-the-counter antiperspirants containing aluminium chloride. 
  • Oral medications: Discuss options with your general practitioner.
  • Powders such as talcum powder or foot odour powders can provide temporary relief, however they can be messy and inconvenient to use. 
  • Moisture-wicking socks can alleviate discomfort, but they won’t change the amount of sweat being produced. They are a quick fix to minimise the appearance of foot sweating and reduce the sensation of having wet feet. They are made of a technical fabric that draws moisture away from the skin more quickly than conventional fabrics such as cotton. Sufferers of excessive foot sweating should never wear polyester socks or other manmade fibres, as these do not breathe or absorb.
  • Breathable shoes are likewise a good short-term solution for minimising the sensation of having sweaty feet, as air can circulate and keep them drier and help avoid odour and wetness. However, this is not always a practical option.
  • Sympathectomy is a procedure where some of the nerves triggering your sweat glands are cut, decreasing the signals for sweat production. This is a largely outdated procedure in modern hyperhidrosis treatment, owing to its invasive surgical nature.  
  • Sweat gland blocking treatments: Discuss these with your Contour Clinics cosmetic practitioner.

Targeted Sweat Gland Treatments

Anti-wrinkle injections are used to relax and lessen the activity of nerves affecting the sweat glands. Once the injectable solution begins to work, this treatment can help reduce sweating in the treated area for months. 

Excessive sweating injections work by blocking the communication of sweat glands and the nerves causing their overactivity. 

The secretion of acetylcholine into the gap between the nerve and sweat gland is required for proper function of the gland. 

By using anti-wrinkle injectables, we can inhibit the release of acetylcholine from the nerve terminals, preventing communication between the nerve and sweat gland. 

This is done by mapping out areas of problematic sweat glands during your consultation. Occasionally, we may decide to perform a starch-iodine test to clearly identify areas of particular concern.
