Method 1: Make some minor changes.
1, take strong antiperspirant. The first step to fight hyperhidrosis is to take a powerful antiperspirant. Many clinical trials have proved that some intensive drugs are available, such as Dove and Secret. Distinguish between antiperspirant and deodorant. Antiperspirant can block sweat glands and prevent excessive sweating, while deodorant can only block odor. If you have hyperhidrosis, you should use antiperspirants. (Although deodorant will do. )
There is an enhanced antiperspirant, which contains 10% to 15% of the active ingredient, and it is called aluminum chloride hexahydrate. This ingredient is very effective in inhibiting sweating, but it will irritate the skin, so you have to find the medicine that suits you best.
Some people don't use antiperspirants because they have heard that aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants are related to cancer and Alzheimer's disease. However, many clinical studies have proved that there is no reliable evidence for this relationship.
2. Use antiperspirant at night. A little surprised, but the doctor's advice is to apply it at night, because it takes about six to eight hours for the medicine to enter the sweat duct to completely block the pores. When sleeping, the body should also try to stay cool and calm to reduce sweating, which can prevent the medicine from drying before it penetrates into the skin (this will happen when taking medicine in the morning).
It is also good to take medicine after taking a bath in the morning, which can achieve the best effect.
Antiperspirants can be used not only in armpits, but also in all places where you sweat, such as palms, feet and back. As long as it is not applied to the face, prescription enhancers are irritating to the skin, especially those with sensitive skin.
3. Pay attention to dress. The quality of clothes has a lot to do with restraining sweating. First, breathable clothes can directly prevent you from sweating too much. Wearing the right clothes can suppress sweat spots and make you less worried about yourself. Wear clothes with light fabrics. Wear light and breathable materials, such as cotton-padded jacket, to make the skin breathe smoothly without overheating.
Choose dark clothes. It can make sweat spots fade or even invisible, and make your life more peaceful.
Breathable shoes. If your feet sweat, you must buy good quality breathable shoes to prevent your feet from getting too hot. You can also put moisture-proof insoles in your shoes to reduce sweating.
Put on more clothes. No matter what season, wearing more layers of clothes can prevent sweating, and the bottom clothes can absorb water before it soaks through the second layer. Men can wear underwear and women can wear vests.
Protective use of sweat absorbent pad. If you wear too much and it's too hot, you can consider wearing a sweat pad. These small stickers can be fixed inside clothes to absorb excess water. Most pharmacies can buy it.
4. Take a bath at least once a day. Taking a bath every day can effectively remove the odor caused by excessive sweating. Interestingly, sweat itself is tasteless-just a mixture of water, salt and electrolyte. Secreted glands produce an unpleasant sticky substance in armpits and groin, which contains fat, protein and pheromones, and this substance forms the odor.
When this sticky substance comes into contact with ordinary sweat and bacteria on the skin, it will produce an odor that you think is sweat.
Washing your body every day (especially with antibacterial soap) can prevent bacteria from multiplying on the skin surface, thus reducing odor. It is also important to wear clean clothes after taking a shower, because bacteria can also parasitize dirty clothes.
5. Prepare a change of clothes. If you have hyperhidrosis, prepare a spare shirt or loose coat (don't fold it) and keep it in your bag all the time. Knowing that you have new clothes that you can change at any time can reduce anxiety and peace of mind. Worry will prove to make you sweat more, so a favorable environment (clothes to change) can actually keep you from sweating too much in the first place.
Bring a handkerchief. Another trick is to carry a handkerchief with you. If you want to shake hands with others, you can dry your hands quickly without being seen.
6. Don't eat spicy food. For example, red pepper or Indian curry will make you sweat more, so don't eat anything spicy-at least not at lunch or on a date on weekdays. Don't eat garlic and onions, because the strong smell in these foods can be excreted through sweat.
In short, eat light foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Even if these foods can't make you stop sweating completely, they can change the taste of sweat.
7. Keep the bed cool. If you sweat a lot at night, you need to cool yourself down. No matter what season, use breathable and light sheets. Also use sheets with absorbent materials, such as quilts-silk quilts and flannel quilts are not very good.
Use a lightweight duvet. You can also cover it with another blanket if necessary. If you cover yourself with a thick quilt in summer, no wonder you sweat so much at night.
8. Decompress. For some people, stress, tension and anxiety are all killers of hyperhidrosis, so relieving stress can alleviate hyperhidrosis. When you are nervous, neurotransmitters in your brain are stimulated and your body receives signals, so you will feel hot and irritable.
Reduce stress and don't give yourself too much work pressure. If you are nervous because you want to show something or meet your boss, you should relax, take a deep breath or meditate for a while.
In the long run, regular exercise and being with family and friends can relieve stress.
9. Use dry cleaning shampoo. A little exercise makes the scalp sweat easily. You can spray dry cleaning shampoo on your head every morning, which can absorb excess water from your hair and scalp. Put a dry powder shampoo in your bag and put it in the office drawer-you can spray it in the bathroom to refresh yourself at any time.
The fragrant dry powder shampoo smells good-it can get rid of sweat. If you want to do something else, you can also use baby powder and baking soda.
10, get rid of bad habits. Smoking, drinking and coffee dependence can all lead to hyperhidrosis, so you should try to get rid of these bad habits. If you are overweight, you will sweat a lot. It would be better if I could lose weight.
Read some articles about quitting smoking, drinking and coffee, and see how to lose weight.
Method 2: drug treatment
1, see a doctor. Is it hyperhidrosis caused by other reasons? Sometimes some latent diseases can also cause hyperhidrosis, such as menopause, heart disease, hyperthyroidism, or some cancers. It is very important to find these latent diseases, and treatment must be started as soon as possible. If left unchecked, these diseases will be fatal. If treated, the patient's hyperhidrosis will be solved.
See if some of the drugs you have taken recently have caused sweating. For example, some psychotropic drugs and hypertension drugs, antibiotics and some nutritional supplements will do the same.
Pay special attention to whether you start sweating after taking the medicine, or always sweat, whenever you sweat.
2. Laser hair removal under the armpit. Many doctors suggest using laser hair removal to suppress hyperhidrosis and reduce the smell of sweat. The principle is simple-hair can keep warm and cause sweating. Bacteria are easy to produce in hair, and bacteria make odor. When the hair is removed, there will be less sweating, less bacteria and less smell.
Laser hair removal is to remove hair follicles with pulsed laser. You will hardly feel pain, but it will take several times to finish. After that, the hair grew much slower. Laser therapy may be expensive, but once and for all.
3. Take prescription drugs. Some drugs can treat hyperhidrosis. The pharmacological mechanism is to control sweating by inhibiting the connection between brain nerve and sweat gland. These drugs are especially useful for some of them. If you are interested, you can ask a doctor to write a prescription for you.
Possible side effects of these drugs include blurred vision, bladder discomfort and dry mouth.
4. Iontophoresis. This method has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Dermatologists often use electrical pulses to temporarily "turn off" sweat glands. This is especially effective in treating hyperhidrosis of hands and feet. Many patients need multiple treatments to see the curative effect. Treatment ranges from twice a day to once every two weeks. Follow-up treatment depends on your needs.
It is said that this treatment also has side effects, and some patients finally choose to have follow-up treatment at home according to their own conditions. The instrument can be bought from R.A. Fischer Company, and the price is about 600 dollars. The patient must use the instrument correctly under the guidance of a doctor.
5. Inject nematodes. Usually used for anti-aging treatment, it has also been proved to be very effective in treating hyperhidrosis. The principle is to temporarily suppress the nerves that cause sweating. This method is also relatively safe, with few side effects and no recurrence afterwards.
The curative effect usually lasts about four months, but it also needs repeated treatment to consolidate the curative effect.
6. Do surgery when necessary. Surgery is needed to eradicate or inhibit sweat glands when necessary. If the operation is successful, hyperhidrosis can be eliminated forever. Eliminate sweat glands. Liposuction is performed by cutting a small hole in the skin. This method can only be used under the armpit.
Neurosurgery. Prevent sweating, especially palmar hyperhidrosis, by cutting or eliminating spinal nerves. Unfortunately, it sometimes causes sweating in other parts of the body.
Method 3: Natural therapy
1, drink more water. When the body temperature is too high, the body will sweat, thus lowering the body temperature. Drinking enough cold water all day can directly regulate body temperature, so you won't sweat. In addition, drinking more water can eliminate toxins through urination, so that less toxins can be excreted through sweating.
When toxins are excreted through the skin, they produce odor together with sweat. So drinking more water can also change the smell of sweat.
Six to eight glasses of water a day can also bring other benefits, making the skin healthier and easier to digest.
2, facial scrub at the armpit. It sounds strange, but it can exfoliate and clean pores. (Apply to any sweating area) If the pores are clear, bacteria and odor that block the pores can be eliminated.
At first, you may sweat more than usual, but after a few days, it will be less and the sweating frequency will be reduced. You should also apply it once or twice a week.
3. Use corn starch and baking soda. The effect is obvious, and it can be applied to the soles of the feet or under the sweaty chest. After being applied to the skin, it can quickly absorb excess water and continue to dry for several hours.
Soda has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and is very useful for allergic skin. But places like the groin need other special treatments.
4. radish juice. Some people claim that radish juice is very effective for hyperhidrosis and can reduce the activity of sweat glands. If you want to have a try, you can shred the radish with a vegetable slicer and then squeeze out the juice.
You can directly apply radish juice to sweaty places such as underarms. Or drink it, or turn it into other healthy drinks.
5. Drink sage tea. This is an unknown herbal therapy that can prevent sweat glands from sweating too much. You can buy sage tea from the health food store, and it is easy to make it yourself at home.
Just boil a handful of dried or fresh sage leaves in water. After boiling, filter out the leaves and let the tea cool before drinking.
Just drink one or two glasses a day.
6. Change your diet. What kind of food you eat will make you sweat. Eating processed artificial sweets will increase toxins in the body, clog pores and produce odor together with sweat. We should put an end to all fast food, processed fast food, carbonated drinks, artificial colors and too sweet candy. Also put an end to foods with high fructose and corn syrup content, which will only aggravate sweating.
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables-especially water-rich foods such as tomatoes, watermelons and cucumbers, as well as whole grains, lean meat, fish, nuts, beans and eggs.
7.lemon juice. Citric acid in lemon can eliminate the odor caused by excessive sweating. Just squeeze the juice with fresh lemon, or use a bottle of lemon juice squeezed in advance directly in the place where you sweat the most. You can smell fresh lemons all day.
Lemon juice is acidic, so allergic skin is irritating. Avoid contact with sensitive parts or damaged skin, which will irritate and hurt.
8. Zinc supplement. If the smell is caused by excessive sweating, zinc can play a role. You can buy it at a nearby health care store and take it according to the instructions. It is best to consult a doctor before taking health care products.
Can be eaten with any food, such as oysters, crabs, beef, breakfast cereal, sweet beans, almonds and yogurt.
9. Do a colon cleaning. Some people say that they sweat less after taking a shower. This is also reasonable. Intestinal cleaning can eliminate bacteria in the body, thus reducing sweat and odor.
If all else fails, intestinal cleaning is worth a try.
