What causes my feet to sweat?

It's possible you have plantar hyperhidrosis if your shoes get wet while you walk barefoot or you notice damp footprints when you walk barefoot. It basically means your feet are sweating excessively.

Excess water and salt are eliminated through sweat as part of the body's natural function to eliminate excess fluids. In addition, it regulates body temperature by keeping the skin moist. The cause of this condition may be anxiety or emotional stress, standing for long periods of time, or wearing inappropriate footwear, which does not absorb sweat.

This condition may be aggravated by obesity, which is commonly linked to increased sweating, but not always. Using antifungal foot powder, as well as washing and drying the feet daily will help ward off fungal infections. For a proper diagnosis and treatment options, contact a podiatrist if your feet seem to be sweating excessively.

If you are suffering from hyperhidrosis consider visiting Dr. Arshia Roohian or Dr. Farshad Bathaee at All-in-one Foot Care Center instead of trying to treat it yourself.

Feet Hyperhidrosis

People with hyperhidrosis have excessive sweating on their feet. It usually happens without any vigorous activity. Sweaty palms are another symptom of hyperhidrosis.

Despite the fact that sweating is an important part of the body's cooling process, hyperhidrosis may be a big hindrance for a person's daily routine.

Plantar hyperhidrosis is considered to be the most common form of hyperhidrosis. Associated with secondary hyperhidrosis is sweating in areas other than the feet or hands or armpits. These symptoms may be caused by another medical issue such as menopause, hyperthyroidism, or Parkinson's.

Seeking medical attention is crucial to alleviating this condition in order to obtain the necessary prescription medications in order to begin living a normal life again. A person may suffer from this condition for the rest of their lives if left untreated.

Surgery is a last resort approach, but it is best to consult with your doctor to find out exactly what will work best for you.
