Hyperhidrosis

¿Qué es la hiperhidrosis y cuáles son sus causas?

Hyperhidrosis is also known as ‘excessive sweating’. The condition is caused by hyperfunction of the sweat glands. It can appear in any area of the skin, but most commonly on the soles of the feet and in hands.

Aún se desconoce la causa exacta de la hiperhidrosis, pero la investigación científica confirma que el sistema nervioso desempeña un papel importante en el desarrollo de la enfermedad.

Nails are not usually involved. The sweat glands of the skin begin to produce excessive amounts of sweat, which leads to uncomfortable conditions, stress, and skin diseases such as bacterial and fungal infections, especially on feet.

It is vital nail technicians follow safe and hygienic practises and use quality nail and skin care products for manicures and pedicures at all times.

Nail technicians can also recommend cosmetic products to help combat excessive sweating, including sprays, powders or antiperspirants and creams.
