EXCESSIVE SWEATING (HYPERHIDROSIS)
Effective, Long-Lasting Relief From Excessive Sweating
At Signature Skin, Dr. Shantanu Choudhary and Dr. Swati Mogra diagnose and treat hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes sweating well beyond what the body needs to stay cool. Hyperhidrosis can affect work, social life, and confidence, and it responds well to the right combination of treatments matched to the areas involved.
Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that goes beyond normal temperature regulation, most often affecting the underarms, palms, soles, and face. It can be primary, with no clear underlying cause and often starting earlier in life, or secondary to another medical condition or medication. Because it can soak through clothing, affect grip, and cause social discomfort, hyperhidrosis is a legitimate medical concern rather than something to simply manage alone.
When to See a Dermatologist
If sweating is disrupting daily activities, work, or confidence despite using regular antiperspirants, or if it started suddenly or is limited to one side of the body, it is worth a dermatology evaluation to confirm the type of hyperhidrosis and rule out other causes before starting treatment.
Our Treatment Options
Prescription-Strength Antiperspirants: Often the first step, applied to affected areas to reduce sweat gland activity.
Botulinum Toxin Injections: A well-established option for underarm, palm, and sole sweating, temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands.
Oral Medications: Systemic options that reduce overall sweating for more widespread or severe cases.
Advanced Options: For select cases that do not respond to other treatments, including procedures that target sweat glands directly.
Our Approach
Accurate Assessment: We identify the type, severity, and pattern of hyperhidrosis before recommending treatment.
Treatment Matched to Area and Severity: The right approach depends on whether sweating affects the underarms, palms, soles, or face, and how significantly it impacts daily life.
Long-Term Management: Because hyperhidrosis is often a chronic condition, we plan for maintenance treatment where needed.
Follow-Up Care: We monitor response and adjust the treatment plan to keep results consistent.
If excessive sweating is affecting your confidence or daily life, book a consultation with our dermatology team in Jaipur for an evaluation and a treatment plan suited to you.
