When the human body perspires, it maintains constant internal body temperature. The Sympathetic Nervous System that regulates perspiration controls over five million sweat glands in the body. The sympathetic chain that controls sweating is located in the chest. When the body sweats more than it needs to, especially in hands and feet, Plantar Hyperhydrosis occurs as a medical condition, which may be continuous or episodic. This happens when the Sympathetic Nervous System overworks to cool down the internal body temperature. | |

Foot sweating is characterized by excessive sweating of the soles of the feet. There can be many causes of excessive foot sweating, and it is hard to pinpoint the exact cause for each person. It can be caused by an overactive nervous system, such as stress and anxiety, due to the over-activity of the sweat glands themselves. It can also be hereditary since it is very common to see family members with similar severity of the foot sweating condition. Take the timely help of the podiatrists at The Foot and Ankle Associates so that you can be free from a painful and embarrassing situation.
| Excessive foot sweating exists in many different degrees. More severe forms of foot sweating can lead to other diseases, such as athlete’s foot, bacterial infections, fungal toenails or other skin problems. You can treat this condition by using absorbent foot powders, and changing shoes and |
