What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by extreme, uncontrollable sweating beyond what’s needed for normal body temperature regulation. While sweating is a healthy bodily function, people with hyperhidrosis sweat excessively even when they are not hot or exercising.
There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:
- Primary hyperhidrosis has no apparent medical cause and tends to affect the hands, feet, underarms, and face. It often runs in families.
- Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition like infections, endocrine disorders, menopause, cancers, spinal cord injuries, and anxiety disorders. It can occur all over the body.
What Causes Underarm Sweating?
The underarms contain a high concentration of eccrine sweat glands that produce a watery sweat to cool the body. In hyperhidrosis patients, these glands become overactive due to a malfunction in the nerve signals that trigger sweating.
Several factors can come into play:
| Cause | Description |
| Genetics | A family history of excessive sweating raises the risk. Certain gene mutations are linked to hyperhidrosis. |
| Hormones | Puberty, menopause, thyroid disorders, and hormonal medications can trigger underarm sweating. |
| Sympathetic nervous system | Stress and emotions like anxiety activate the “fight or flight” response, including sweating. |
| Diet | Spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, vitamins B6 and E may increase sweating. |
| Medications | Hyperhidrosis can be a side effect of certain prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs. |
| Obesity | Being overweight is associated with excessive sweating. |
How Common is Underarm Sweating?
Excessive underarm sweating affects around 15.3 million of the US population. About half of hyperhidrosis patients have underarm sweating as their primary symptom. For these individuals, it can be an extremely frustrating, confidence-sapping condition.
Imagine constantly worrying about visible sweat stains on your clothing. The anxiety of raising your arm in class or a meeting, afraid you’ll be “outed” by those tell-tale wet marks under your arms. Shying away from handshakes or hugs with friends, loved ones, and colleagues. The constant need to change clothes or even shower midday when others seem fresh and dry.
Beyond the physical annoyance, hyperhidrosis takes a huge emotional toll in social settings. Research shows that about a third of patients experience depression or public speaking anxiety. Underarm sweating leads many to withdraw from activities they once enjoyed.
Is Underarm Sweating a Health Concern?
For the most part, hyperhidrosis itself is not dangerous or life-threatening. However, excessive underarm sweating does carry some risks requiring medical care:
1. Skin Infections
Excessive sweating creates a warm, moist environment that can promote bacterial growth in the underarms. This may lead to skin infections, itching, redness, and skin breakdown.
2. Deodorant Irritation
Overuse of harsh deodorants or antiperspirants can cause skin irritation or burns in sensitive areas like the armpits, leading to discomfort.
3. Body Odor
Although sweat itself is odorless, it can interact with bacteria on the skin, resulting in unpleasant odors. This is a common issue for individuals with hyperhidrosis.
4. Dehydration
Chronic heavy sweating can lead to dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes and essential salts, which may affect overall health.
5. Mental Health Impacts
Coping with uncontrolled sweating can take a toll on mental health, potentially leading to anxiety and depression due to social embarrassment and discomfort.
If excessive underarm sweating is disrupting your daily life, it’s important to consult a dermatologist. They can assess any related complications and recommend appropriate treatment. Don’t resign yourself to discomfort and embarrassment — there are solutions.
Say Goodbye to Sweaty Pits with Brella
Excessive underarm sweating can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. But thanks to recent innovations in hyperhidrosis treatment, relief is now easily within reach.
We’re thrilled to now offer Brella SweatControl patches – the newest breakthrough for treating excessive underarm sweating.
How Does It Work?
The Brella SweatControl patch is an innovative treatment utilizing alkali thermolysis technology to reduce excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis). A painless thermal reaction occurs between the sodium in the patch and the water in your sweat, temporarily injuring the sweat glands and immediately starting to reduce underarm sweat for up to 4 months post-treatment. Key Features
- Composition: The patch consists of sodium – a naturally-occurring component of our body’s cells. The thermal reaction that occurs between sodium and the water in our sweat temporarily injures sweat glands, without need for other ingredients like aluminum.
- Duration: Users typically experience significant sweat reduction shortly after application, with effects lasting up to 4 months.
- Safety: Generally safe and painless with minimal side effects, such as temporary mild irritation and/or redness at the application site.
