Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Underarm Sweating)

Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Underarm Sweating)

Axillary Hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating, is a medical condition in which the glands produce far more sweat than is needed for bodily temperature control. It’s thought to be caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which in turn, over-stimulates the sweat glands.

Deo-Go Stain Remover

Deo-Go is a unique cleaning agent, specifically formulated to remove deodorant and antiperspirant stains.

Its active ingredients target antiperspirant or deodorant residue build-up better than any other product. They dissolve and completely remove the stain, restoring the garment’s original appearance.



How does it work?

It’s sprayed directly and worked into the stained area of clothing, then left to soak for a short period before being washed as per the garment’s normal washing instructions.

What does it tackle?

Garment underarm stains are often caused when antiperspirants and deodorants combine with sweat.

These deposits aren’t readily removed by a normal washing cycle. Over time, they build up: forming stiff, uncomfortable patches of clear or white residue that can feel chalky or greasy, as well as a visible stain. On darker or deep coloured garments, the armpit area can look bleached or faded. On white or light coloured garments, deposits can be more pronounced, often discolouring to an unsightly yellow or brown.

Is there a link between deodorants or antiperspirants and breast cancer?

Stories claiming that using deodorants or antiperspirants increases the risk of breast cancer have been circulating on the internet and by email for several years. This issue also gets a lot of press coverage from time to time. Since these claims began to circulate some studies have looked at the possible link between deodorants/antiperspirants and breast cancer. But there is still no
good scientific evidence that a link exists.

Klima Antiperspirant Product Review

It all started in the summer of 2009, when I was in a short vacation in England with my wife and friends. I have some embarrassing sweat issues that I couldn’t control no matter how hard I tried. Someone recommended me Klima Antiperspirant, a clinical strength antiperspirant that helps people like me, that are suffering from a medical condition named hyperhidrosis.

Follow the guidelines on how to use efficiently Klima Antiperspirant:

After you shower, wait until your underarms are completely dry to apply Klima. Apply liberally (4-6 sprays each) and be sure to saturate the area. Your underarm should look and feel wet after you have sprayed.

After about 15 seconds, the product will dry and the chemical smell will dissipate. You are now protected from wetness and odor for up to 5 days. It’s OK to shower between uses, but this will reduce the effectiveness of Klima.

For those who suffer from severe odor or wetness, you may use Klima daily, and supplement your daily regimen with another over-the-counter deodorant or antiperspirant/deodorant of your choice.

It may take about a week of use for Klima to become 100% effective.

Follow the steps exactly like they are listed above and you’ll be fine. If you are allergic to any of the ingredients this antiperspirant contains, please refer to a specialist to make sure it’s O.K. to use Klima. However, if you have aluminum intolerance, then you can use other antiperspirant, produced by the same company named Hyper-Dri Aluminum-free Antiperspirant.

Ingredients: Ethyl Alcohol, Aqua (water), Aluminum Chloride, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Glycerin, Alcloxa, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Triethyl Citrate, Parfum (fragrance)

THERMAL CONTROL OF SWEATING

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the existence of a thermoregulatory center within the hypothalamic region of the brain was identified. Studies demonstrated that elevated brain temperature engaged heat loss mechanisms in animals. Reports from early investigators were somewhat mixed with respect to the location of the primary controller of sweating. Before the middle of the 20th century, it was thought that skin temperature was more important in the control of sweating relative to internal temperature. For example, in 1923, Adolph reported that, in nonexercising subjects, sweat rate was proportional to the effective environmental temperature above 90°F (32°C) and suggested a close correlation between sweating and superficial body temperature.

Kuno later suggested that central thermoregulatory centers were more important for temperature control, because sweating responses were delayed despite increasing skin temperature when exposed to elevated environmental temperatures. Kuno proposed that, if skin temperature was the primary controller of sweating, then sweating should have occurred immediately on exposure to the elevated environmental conditions. Nevertheless, Kuno did not evaluate sweating as a function of internal temperature in those studies.

In 1959, Benzinger proposed that, under steady-state conditions the increased sweat rate caused by exercise and/or variations in the environmental temperature were very closely correlated to rises in tympanic temperature and that this relationship was stronger than the relationship between skin temperature and sweating. His proposition was later supported by Nielsen and Nielsen, although they observed that rapid decreases in mean skin temperature reduced sweat rate when internal temperature remained stable.

Given findings that internal and mean skin temperatures can control sweating, researchers began to assess the relationship between sweating and various combinations of internal and skin temperatures. This resulted in the concept of mean body temperature, which represents the sum of a fraction of internal and skin temperatures, and it is now frequently used when expressing sweating responses during exercise and during exposure to elevated ambient air temperatures.

Although alluded to by others, Nadel and colleagues were among the first to directly access the relationship between the increase in sweat rate relative to dynamic increases in internal temperature in humans. Later, this concept was confirmed in monkeys in which direct measures of brain temperature were obtained while sweating was assessed by Smiles. They concluded that sweating is primarily controlled by central brain temperature and secondarily affected by mean skin temperature. Given these findings, sweating responses are now commonly characterized by the internal or mean body temperature threshold for the onset of sweating, as well as the slope of the relationship between the elevation in sweating and the elevation in internal or mean body temperature, as eloquently outlined in the reviews by Gisolfi and Wenger. An increase in the internal or mean body temperature threshold for the onset of sweating and/or an attenuation of the elevation in sweating relative to the elevation in internal or mean body temperature is recognized as impaired sweating responsiveness.

Whereas mean skin temperature alters sweating via central mechanisms, sweat rate is also influenced by local temperature of the sweat gland via peripheral mechanisms. For example, local heating accentuates sweat rate while local cooling attenuates sweat rate. Possible mechanisms by which local temperature alters sweating may be an effect of temperature on neurotransmitter release or sensitization or desensitization of the receptors on sweat glands by temperature. It remains unclear which of these mechanisms, or whether both, are responsible for these observations.

Eliminate Foot Odor The Best Way

Let's recognize something... shoe odor is gross. Given this very clear proclamation, why don't we examine a couple methods you could use to eliminate shoe odor!

Shoe Odor Deterrence

Shoe odor takes place from bacteria that multiplies in hot, damp conditions. You'll want to establish your shoes inhospitable to the current bacterial if you wish to eliminate shoe odor. For that reason, the ultimate way to achieve that would be to keep your feet, socks, and shoes free of moisture.

Sweaty feet is frequently the crucial offender of she odor. If you suffer from excessively sweaty feet, you can test implementing an underarm antiperspirant to your feet and you could try coating the inside your shoes with talcum powder so that you can absorb all excess dampness.

To eliminate shoe odor, it's actually a good idea to wear moderately thick, cotton socks and change them wherever possible at any rate every day) to continue to keep everything decent and dry. No need to select socks derived from synthetic materials. They just don't absorb dampness nor do they facilitate your feet to breathe substantially, which will not be reliable in order to eliminate shoe odor.

Shoe Odor Eradication

There's perpetually the good ol' baking soda remedy when it comes to seeking to eliminate shoe odor. Right after you've removed your shoes during the day, layer the interior carefully using a fine coating of baking soda, seal them up in a ziploc bag or anything similar, and stuff them in the freezer until morning. The icy temperature helps eliminate the bacteria while the baking soda soaks up dampness.

Whenever you pull them out from the freezer, put them in a well-ventilated place to dry. It is somewhat a messy strategy to eliminate shoe odor and you may have to repeat the process a couple of times a week, but it does get the job done to some extent.

Foot Sweating, Its Causes, Symptoms and Cures

Foot sweating is also known as Pedal Hyperhidrosis. Pedal Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that involves the feet and the excessive sweating of the feet.

Foot sweating rarely occurs on its own. More often than not, it appears in conjunction with Palmar Hyperhidrosis or abnormal hand sweating. If the hands don't sweat profusely but the foot does, the condition is called solitary foot sweating.

The excessive sweating of the foot isn't as big of a problem as hand sweating. Foot sweating can easily be obscured because the feet are not used in social relations as much as the hands are. Hands are used for greeting, holding objects, and other functions. The foot, on the other hand, is simply used for walking. Most of the time, it is safely hidden inside the socks and the shoes.

However, the problem becomes apparent the moment you remove the foot's covers. For some people, excessive foot sweating leaves them with smelly feet because of the microbes proliferating in the sweat. This condition may also convince other people, especially ladies, not to wear sandals, flip flops, and open shoes because the sweat on their feet becomes very apparent. It may even cause accidental falls and slips in worst cases.

Causes

The things that trigger hand sweating are relatively the same as the ones that causes foot sweating. Genetics play a very important role here. If you have relatives that suffer from this disease, the chances are high that you'll be suffering from the same thing as well.

Sometimes, if the feet are always covered, foot sweating develops. It also pays to let your foot breathe normally so it can release excess water and fluids from the sweat glands and the skin pores naturally. Treat your feet to some soothing and cooling treats every once in a while.

Symptoms

Foot sweating can show several symptoms that could pinpoint the disease to hyperhidrosis.
First off, you will feel that your foot gets cold and wet, even under normal weather conditions. It is okay to feel cold during the winter. However, if you literally have cold feet even in the summer heat, you got yourself a problem right there.

Foul odor when taking your shoes off is also an indication that you have pedal hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis causes the foot to produce sweat abnormally, and weat is the favorite breeding place of bacteria. People with hyperhidrosis are more prone to developing foot infections and odors.

It is normal to slip if you step on something wet or slimy. However, it's a different thing if you feel you're slipping in your own shoes. This is yet another sign that you have hyperhidrosis. If your sandals or shoes are dripping after using them for a short period of time, then you must see a doctor to have the problem addressed.

Cures

There are many medications that are used to treat foot sweating. The use of antiperspirants is the most common treatment procedure. Iontophoresis is another good method of cure the disease. There's also a surgical way of treating the problem and the procedure is called sympathectomy.
