It is difficult to clearly define the difference between natural and excessive sweating.
Sweating is a natural phenomenon of the body. The sweat glands produce a clear, watery liquid that is intended to regulate the body's temperature, in particular to cool it down so that it remains at 37°C. Sweating occurs in the armpits, scalp and back.
Sweating is caused by various factors: sports activity or physical effort, ambient heat and stress.
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, corresponds to an excessive production of sweat. Excessive" is considered to be any perspiration that goes beyond what is necessary, uncontrollable and inconvenient. Hyperhidrosis concerns all areas of perspiration and particularly the hands and feet.

In order to treat excessive sweating, it is necessary to consult a medical specialist.
Firstly, it is possible to treat hyperhidrosis with treatments to be applied locally. These are antiperspirant products that contain aluminum chloride. Applied as an antiperspirant, mainly in the armpits, aluminum chloride is deposited on the sweat ducts and limits the flow of sweat to the skin surface.
Excessive sweating can be treated with electrodes. Iontophoresis aims to reduce the perspiration of hands and feet in particular, by immersing them in tanks of water in which a weak electric current is diffused.
Another possible treatment is the injection of a resorbable product in the armpits, face, hands or feet in order to limit the flow of sweat. Botulic acid prevents the stimulation of the sweat glands. This method is used in cases of severe hyperhidrosis.
