Please note that covering the area where you apply anti-perspirant with plastic wrap is NOT recommended by most dermatologists nor by the International Hyperhidrosis Society. Doing this will greatly increase skin irritation and maceration since sweat mixing with the active ingredient in anti-perspirants creates a highly caustic substance. In fact, it's recommended that anti-perspirants be applied to completly dry skin to reduce the chance of irritation.Also, excessive sweating can be caused by a number of underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and menoapuse. It can also be caused by medications such as anti-depressants and beta blockers. Again, if you go to the International Hyperhidrosis Soceity web site (sweatHelp.org) you can dowload the complete list. If your sweating is caused by either of these things, it's called secondary hyperhidrosis. If the excessive sweating is NOT caused by an underlying medical condition or by medications, then it's called primary hyperhidrosis.Treatmnents vary according to the area of the body where the excessive sweating occurs. Look to the Treatments section of the International Hyperhidrosis Soceity to see a chart that illustrates this.Thanks! Hi, thanks for this article.
