Few things can be harder for a teen than being different, especially when that difference is due to an embarrassing and isolating condition like hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. This condition can affect everything from the clothes one wears to the activities one can enjoy, and it often takes a psychological toll on teens who have it. - Added on March 14, 2006
Offensive body odor is against the law in libraries in San Luis Obispo County, Calif. A code of conduct, officials say, is necessary to ensure that one person's right to use a public library doesn't infringe on the rights of another and law enforcement officers have the authority to remove library patrons who smell bad.

Background: Essential hyperhidrosis is characterized by overactivity of the sympathetic fibers passing through the upper-dorsal ganglia (second and third thoracic ganglia [D2-D3]), and the treatment of choice is video-assisted thoracoscopy sympathectomy. Alterations in cardiopulmonary function after treatment have been reported. - Added on March 06, 2006

"Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis is a common condition in which the eccrine (sweat) glands of the palms and soles secrete inappropriately large quantities of sweat. The condition may become socially and professionally debilitating. Idiopathic palmoplantar hyperhidrosis begins in childhood and frequently runs in families." - Added on April 11, 05
Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, can affect people both socially and functionally. This relatively common disorder of unknown origin can focally involve the eccrine sweat glands of the axillae, soles, palms, or forehead, or can be generalized and involve several areas. The sweat glands responsible for focal hyperhidrosis are eccrine glands innervated by anatomically sympathetic, but functionally cholinergic, fibers.1 - Added on April 12, 05
A 16-year-old girl presents complaining of excessive axillary and palmar sweating. The sweating increases with stress and does not seem to be associated with room temperature or other factors. The patient denies any family history of excessive sweating and reports that she does not take prescription or over-the-counter medications on a regular basis. -Added on April 14, 05
Sympathectomy is a surgical procedure that destroys nerves in the sympathetic nervous system. The procedure is done to increase blood flow and decrease long-term pain in certain diseases that cause narrowed blood vessels. It can also be used to decrease excessive sweating. This surgical procedure cuts or destroys the sympathetic ganglia, collections of nerve cell bodies in clusters along the thoracic or lumbar spinal cord. -Added on April 18, 05
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond the physiological need. It usually affects the palms, axillae, and soles and may affect the face, groin, and legs. Symptoms usually appear at puberty and may cause psychological and social problems, as well as occupational and educational difficulties. Between 0.6% and 1% of the general population are affected by hyperhidrosis. (1) -Added on April 20, 05
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a disorder that may cause social isolation or occupational disability. It may be generalized or localized, and although frequently idiopathic it may be a manifestation of a number of important systemic diseases. Drugs, surgical procedures, and electrical devices may all be employed by the physician as therapeutic weapons to treat hyperhidrosis. -Added on April 25, 05
This is the report of a 38-year-old man with unilateral dermatomal hyperhidrosis documented by a starch-iodine technique; a subsequent diagnosis was made of a generalized pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The association of unilateral hyperhidrosis and a malignant tumor is reviewed.-Added on April 28, 05
Most juvenile amputees who wear one or more artificial limbs have problems with excess perspiration (hyperhidrosis) of the stump inside the prosthetic socket. It appears to be the most common reason for the removal of the prosthesis prior to the end of the day. Perspiration build-up can result in various skin disorders which can cause a disruption in the daily wearing pattern of the prosthesis. -Added on May 02, 05
The objective of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) of patients with hyperhidrosis before and after treatment with botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A). Three-hundred and twenty adult patients with persistent, bilateral primary axillary hyperhidrosis sufficient to interfere with the activities of daily life were enrolled from 17 European dermatology centers. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, subjects either received BTX-A 50 U to each axilla or they received the placebo vehicle.

Primary hyperhidrosis occurs in response to psychologic stress and emotional stimuli. It usually involves the palms, soles and axillae and may lead to wetness and staining of clothes, damp hands, plantar infection and blisters. For some persons, sweating may be so excessive that it leads to social isolation, low self-esteem or even to medical illness. Manusov and Nadeau review the pathophysiology and treatment of hyperhidrosis.

Allergan has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis that is refractory to topical treatments. Botox has already been approved for several other purposes including the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar frown lines. It has been approved for hyperhidrosis in Canada for over two years and has been used off-label for this indication in the United States. Botulinum Toxin Type A is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.-Added on May 10, 05
Wrist blockage of median and ulnar nerves before treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin (BTX-A) reduces discomfort and improves accuracy of BTX-A injections. The authors state that wrist block increases accuracy but may be associated with mechanical/chemical injury.

We read with interest the editorial on hyperhidrosis by Collin and Whatling.[1] They suggest that botulinum toxin should be the treatment of choice for axillary hyperhidrosis. Early studies have shown that intradermal injection of botulinum toxin produces an effective but temporary inhibition of sweating.[2] The therapeutic effects of botulinum toxin have been reported to last three to eight months in healthy volunteers.[3] -Added on May 16, 05
It's Botox, the very same toxin dermatologists use to smooth out frown lines and crow's feet. Some dermatologists are using Botox on patients who sweat excessively beneath the armpits. Sweat glands are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, and when Botox is injected in tiny amounts beneath the armpit, the toxin weakens nerve stimulation to the sweat gland.

After being approved for several other purposes since 1989, including improving the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows, Botox now can treat severe underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) that cannot be managed by topical agents.-Added on May 23, 05
(59th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology) Results of two clinical trials suggest that injections of botulinum toxin type A (Botox) can decrease perspiration at the injected area by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter responsible for stimulating the sweat gland in patients with palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the palms) and axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating under the arms).-Added on August 1, 05
Primary axillary hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive underarm sweating that is thought to result from localized hyperstimulation of sweat glands by cholinergic sympathetic nerve fibers. It can be associated with significant professional, physical, and emotional impairment as well as considerable difficulties in social situations and in personal relationships. Available therapies have been limited by short-lived effectiveness and in some cases significant adverse effects that can put patients at risk for potentially serious complications. Chemodenervation of sweat glands using botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A), which has long-lasting therapeutic efficacy with minimal adverse effects, has emerged as a unique therapy for treating primary axillary hyperhidrosis. This article reviews the chemodenervation procedure, including patient preparation, BTX-A administration, and patient assessment and follow-up. Added on December 1, 04
A treatment made famous for fighting wrinkles may also provide lasting relief from another embarrassing condition: excessive underarm sweat.
The first long-term study of Botox injections in the treatment of the common sweating disorder shows the injections can safely reduce underarm sweat for up to two years.
