Understanding Excessive Hand Sweating

Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating beyond the body’s normal requirement for regulating temperature. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the hands, and occurs when the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands become overactive.

Sweating is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system and normally serves the important function of cooling the body through moisture evaporation. However, with palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive hand sweating), this nervous system activity becomes heightened, resulting in frequent or constant dampness of the palms, regardless of temperature or physical activity level.

Individuals experiencing palmar hyperhidrosis may find certain daily tasks challenging, including using devices, writing, or handling everyday objects. It can also impact comfort during routine social interactions. Understanding the physiological basis of hyperhidrosis and discussing concerns with a qualified medical professional can help individuals explore suitable treatment options, improving daily comfort and overall quality of life.

Sweaty Hand Treatment Options

There are numerous methods available for keeping excessive hand sweating that can be discussed at your complimentary consultation with one of our doctors including:  

  • Prescription solutions. Wipes soaked in glycopyrronium tosylate (Qbrexza) may ease symptoms of the hands, feet and underarms. Possible side effects of these products include mild skin irritation and dry mouth. 
  • Antiperspirants for hands. These are not like swiping your usual deodorant across your palms; these are formulated specifically for the hands and fingers. 
  • Medications: Your GP can discuss certain oral medications that may help the symptoms of hand sweating. This is a service not offered by Contour Clinics.  
  • Iontophoresis or ‘electro-antiperspirant’. This is a treatment delivered by a machine using electro current technology. Although it can temporarily cease sweating, it has also been known to increase sweating before reducing it, which can cause further inconvenience and discomfort. 
  • Treatments aimed at sweat gland blocking: Your Contour Clinics doctor can discuss this with you at your complimentary consultation.
