If you suffer from sweaty hands then you already know how bothersome and embarrassing the condition may be.

You use your hands every day, and salutations are mainly handshakes. So having sweaty hands can make socializing a nightmare and you wonder is there a way to stop sweaty hands?

Sweaty hands, also referred to as sweaty hands and palmer hyperhidrosis, does have numerous treatments that will help stop the sweaty hands condition but it really all depends on the severity of the condition of each individual person.

Here are a couple of treatments that may answer your question: how to stop sweaty hands?

One of the less used treatments is oral medications. They are not recommended normally because they cause other side effects despite helping stop the production of sweat glands that causes sweaty hands.

Botox isn’t just for beauty; it is also used successfully to stop sweaty hands. The downside is the price of this procedure, but you only have to get it done every 9 months or so.

Another treatment that helps stop sweaty hands is iontophoresis. This works by placing your hands into two separate containers of water and having small currents of electricity go through your hands. By doing this it allows the water to stop the production of the sweat in your hands.

Hypnosis is yet another treatment, and although there are no long term studies, some have said it does work and best of all it is natural so anyone can try it.

Of course the best way to stop sweaty hands is through a procedure called ETS (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy). It is a simple procedure in which a small incision is made under your armpit in order to cut the nerve that causes sweaty hands.

Botulinum Toxin A: From Sausage Poison to Anal Fissures

June 10, 2010 by anthony  
Filed under Hyperhidrosis

Botox injection is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States. With over 4 million treatments performed last year alone, Botox cosmetic treatments have grown over 420 % since 2000, making it also the most significant growth sector. Although many people know that Botox is short for botulinum toxin, few people know the history or full uses of this unlikely medical minor miracle.

Botox History

Botulinum toxin was first described in the early 19th century as a poison occurring in badly handled meat products and derives its name from the Latin “botulus,” meaning “sausage.” It was considered for homeopathic use during the nineteenth century, but organized research into its medical utility did not occur until after it was discovered that the poison works by blocking neuromuscular signals.

Once this action was described, scientists began research on using one of the seven types of the toxin (type A) to treat spasms and other muscle disorders. The first organized investigation was into the treatment of strabismus (crossed eyes).

Medical Uses

After animal trials, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of botulinum toxin type A for use in treating strabismus and blepharospasm (eyelid spasms) in 1989. Allergan decided on the trade name BOTOX for its version of this medical version of the toxin. Another major trade name used for the toxin is Dysport, although this has not been approved for use in the United States.

In 2000, the FDA approved the use of Botox for cervical dystonia (CD), a condition that causes spasms and tightening in the neck muscles, causing neck and shoulder pain and undesirable, uncontrollable movements of the head and neck. CD is sometimes called spasmodic torticollis.

Botox Cosmetic

Like so many medical advances, the use of botulinum type A for cosmetic purposes was somewhat serendipitous as doctors using the medical version of Botox discovered that it also had the effect of smoothing wrinkles around the eye, especially frown lines between the eyes, known as glabellar lines. This effect was described in medical journals in 2002, the same year it was approved for cosmetic use by the FDA, although it was being used off-label as a cosmetic treatment as early as 2000.

Continuing Innovation

The success of Botox cosmetic and collagen injections led to the investigation of a number of injectable treatments, especially hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Restylane.

In addition, Allergan continues to look for new applications for Botox. In 2004, Botox was approved for the treatment of severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis). It is also being investigated for use in the treatment of everything from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) to anal fissures.

Botox: not for Wrinkles Only

Megan Hand, 5, and Kira Glossop, 4, have spent most of their lives in a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy. Botox injections have made them walk again.

Hand of Mossley, Manchester, was given seven Botox injections in each of her legs by Dr. Tim Meadows of Booth Hall Children’s Hospital in Manchester. She now runs around with her three-year-old sister Chloe, and her mother Claire, 24, is proud of her.

“There’s no stopping her now. She keeps saying, ‘Watch me mummy’, then she gets her balance and she’s off. She calls them her ‘magic legs’,” Claire told The Sun.

Botox allowed Kira to fulfill her dream of becoming a bridesmaid at her mom’s wedding. With the aid of a walking frame, she managed to walk down the aisle in a lovely pink dress.

“All our dreams came true. She’s such a cheerful, brave little girl and has been through so much. We’re so proud,” said her 25-year-old mother Tracy of Bolton, Greater Manchester. Kira’s dad Ashley couldn’t agree more.

“It was just fantastic to see Kira as a bridesmaid,” the 26-year-old engineer said.

Cerebral palsy is caused by a brain injury that occurs before, during or shortly after birth. It affects a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture. The condition causes muscle tightness, hampering a person’s ability to walk or stand. While not a cure, Botox – a purified form of the botulinum toxin – can help cerebral palsy sufferers live normal lives by making them walk again.

Unknown to many, this popular non-surgical wrinkle treatment has numerous benefits. Since scientists first used the toxin in the 1960s, they have discovered that this deadly poison has the ability to change the lives of people with debilitating diseases.

“Besides a wrinkle treatment, Botox is also used to treat several health conditions, including headaches, backaches, eye muscle problems, muscle spasms and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Also, researchers have found that treating facial scars early on with Botox may improve the appearance of scars long-term. This use for Botox is experimental, however, and hasn’t been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA),” according to the MayoClinic.com.

Tracey Raikes of South Elmsall, West Yorkshire, is another Botox success story. She suffered a stroke ten days after giving birth to her youngest daughter. The incident left the 38-year-old housewife paralyzed on the left side. Physiotherapy improved her condition but her left arm was useless and she couldn’t open her hand. When she read about Botox on the internet, she called her doctor for advice.

“Botox was injected into my shoulder and thumb, and at various points in my forearm. I felt nothing and it was over quickly. At first, I was disappointed because nothing changed, but just under a week later I could pull my fingers straight, and although my arm still hung down lifelessly, the hand looked perfectly normal. Even better, the pains in my shoulder disappeared. I now feel that my arm looks as good as possible under the circumstances, and I have Botox every three months,” she said.

In 1989, the FDA approved Botox to treat eye muscle disorders like uncontrollable blinking and crossed eyes. Later, doctors found it had an unusual side effect: it reduced the frown lines between the eyebrows. Since then, Botox has emerged as a popular wrinkle fighter and is used to treat crow’s feet and forehead creases among others.

Still, not all wrinkles respond well to Botox and not everyone can afford the pricey injections considering that they have to be repeated every three to four months. For these people, the use of the Rejuvinol AM/PM Botox Alternative Age-Defying System might be more practical. This unique system consists of the Rejuvinol morning moisturizer and the Rejuvox night cream that work together to moisturize the skin and diminish the appearance of crow’s feet, laugh lines, and wrinkles.

Ways to Control Body Odor

Botulinum toxin (Botox). This is the same product that helps smooth facial wrinkles by paralyzing certain muscles. Researchers have discovered that Botox injections are also an effective way to treat severe hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerves that trigger the sweat glands. Botox isn’t a cure-all, however. It may take several injections to achieve the desired results, the treatment can be painful, and the results last only about four months. In addition, although Botox stops sweating, it doesn’t prevent body odor.

Turnip juice. Turnip juice will reduce underarm odor for up to 10 hours. Grate a turnip; squeeze the juice through cheesecloth, so that you have two teaspoonfuls. Wash your armpits first, and vigorously rub one teaspoonful on each one.

Clean your body odor and bad breath with this unique natural formula! Body odor and bad breath usually is the result of an unclean and putrefied digestive tract and specially a decayed and rotten colon. Be fresh with Chlorozyme, the internal ecology nutrient formula for a cleaner you with your fresh body odor and pleasant breath! Great Life Labs Chlorozyme Fresh has a unique combination of all natural ingredients that is designed to help prevent body odor, bad breath and more.

Good hygiene practices are important in preventing body odor. These include regular baths or showers; wearing cotton socks and non-synthetic shoes that breathe; changing the socks once or twice daily; and keeping the feet dry and bare as much as possible. Special foot powders and odor-absorbing shoe inserts may be helpful if foot odor is a particular problem. Some foods and spices can intensify body odor. Onions, garlic, and cumin contain oils that may cause odor as they are excreted through the skin. Caffeine and nicotine increase sweating and therefore the risk of odor.

Use antibacterial soap or deodorant soap to combat body odor due to sweating. Wear cotton clothes during summer so that the sweat is soaked up. Instead of using deodorant, wipe your sweat producing areas like armpit using white vinegar or alcohol. Avoid using antiperspirant because they clog sweat glands, use alum instead. Apply some baking soda on arm pit, it will absorb sweat and kill bacteria.

Juice of the Turnip also helps to decrease underarm odor for up to 10 hours. Grate a turnip; squeeze the juice through cheesecloth, to get two teaspoonfuls. Apply it under the arms.

Apple cider vinegar also helps to reduce under arm body odor when used in place of deodorant because it reduces the pH of the skin. Bacteria can’t live in areas with low pH.

Cut the potato into 4 slices. Make sure your underarm is clean and dry! Wipe the potato under each arm a few times, and wait for it to dry. After apply your regular deodorant.

Pour a small amount of baking soda onto hands, and then squeeze some lemon juice onto baking soda. Rub mixture on underarms and Voila!! You can also use lemon for female private parts, and outer private parts in between thighs trust me ladies you will have no scent especially in summer weather.

Complete Information on Dermatopathia Pigmentosa Reticularis With Treatment and Prevention

May 2, 2010 by anthony  
Filed under Hyperhidrosis

Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR) is a rare genetic condition where the individual is born without fingerprints. It is comparable to Naegeli syndrome, both of which are caused by a specific defect in the keratin 14 protein. Although the gene responsible for dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis has been identified, there is no cure for this disorder. Those who suffer from DPR should be very mindful of potential occupational hazards. The reticulate pigmentation occurs at birth or during early childhood. Many other dermatologic findings have been associated with this triad. These findings include adermatoglyphia, hypohidrosis or hyperhidrosis, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and acral dorsal nonscarring blisters.

The main symptom of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis is an individual touching surfaces and not leaving a fingerprint behind. Symptoms include lack of sweat glands, thin hair, brittle nails, mottled skin, and lack of fingerprints. There are virtually no trace of the complex lines and swirls that create fingerprints and toeprints. Other effects of this condition are the inability to sweat, brittle teeth, ridged nails, and dry skin. The loss of fingerprints would never have been considered a disability until today. The real threat to DPR sufferers is the inability to sweat. The hyperpigmentation persists throughout life, showing no tendency of spontaneous fading. The reticulate network of hyperpigmented macules occurs particularly on the trunk, neck, and proximal areas of the limbs.

The patients recommended sun exhibition and less important avoiding traumatism, which can bring about blister shaping. No specific treatment exists for this disorder, except for symptomatic management of some of the associated conditions, such as palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Hypohidrosis, the main problem for the patients, remains constant. Teeth are always severely affected, leading to early total loss. For hyperkeratosis, topical retinoic acids and keratolytics may be beneficial. No serious complications are known. Some conditions mentioned in the literature are probably coincidental rather than complications. Nonscarring blisters are generally transient and self-healing. Cold compress may suffice. The hyperpigmentation persists throughout life, showing no tendency of spontaneous fading.

Information of Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea

ROSACEA which is pronounced Ros-AY-sha, is a common skin disorder which causes redness on the cheeks and small pimples. The face is very red under this condition. This condition should be treated at the onset. The age group of 30 to 60 is seen to be the most susceptible age group and in need of ROSACEA treatment. The disease affects both men and women but more women are seen to be having the skin disorder, although Rosacea manifests more severely in males. Rosacea definitely affects the patient physically but it is also emotionally and mentally traumatic as it adversely affects the self confidence of the individual.

Symptoms

•The nose, cheeks, forehead and chin tend to become red in colour.
•Small pimples n the face.
•Eyes tend to water and become irritable
•Burning and itching sensation
The condition is observed to worsen with exposure to the sun, heat or cold, stress and exercise. Some foods are also seen to add to the severity of the disease. Some patients may even go through a phase of depression or mental trauma as a result of Rosacea.

Treating Rosacea

Rosacea must not be neglected; it should be treated at the initial stages. The intensity of the condition varies from patient to patient, therefore it is very important that the doctor understands the patient’s condition perfectly and prescribes a course of treatment that is best suited for the patient. Expert medical advice, treatment facilities and a reassurance from an experienced doctor would do a lot of good for a Rosacea patient.

The developments in medicine have provided advanced state of the art technology that would help in the treatment of the condition. There is now the VBeam Lazer technology which has been proved to be an effective, treatment option for Rosacea patients. The VBeam lazer technology has a successful track record of over 20 years and has proved to be one of the best courses of treatment for Rosacea. The VBeam Lazer technology is found to be a more effective treatment in terms of cost as compared to the Intense Pulse Light treatment.

Rosacea must not be left to heal on its own .It should be treated at the early stages itself. The doctor is the best judge in this case. An experienced doctor backed by the expertise for treating Rosacea would be able to guide the patient as to what mode of treatment to adopt. Rosacea treatment is one that does not affect the life or lifestyle of the patient, in fact most patients are back to work soon after their treatment sessions. A medical institute which specialises in Rosacea treatment and which has a team of doctors who are experienced in the
field would be one that can offer a solution to the skin condition, Rosacea.

Stay Tuned to Day Long Freshness

April 30, 2010 by anthony  
Filed under Hyperhidrosis

Sweating is a normal response to environmental or bodily heat. It can be accelerated due to pain, panic stress, ill health, or an emotional disturbance. When air is dry, evaporation of sweat takes place rapidly so that we don’t notice it on our skin, but when the weather becomes hot and humid, the moisture lingers on and we get soaked in perspiration. As an elimination organ our skin allows sweat to pass out from the pores and rid the body of impurities, just as kidneys send out waste products through urine and the liver breaks down pesticides and other chemicals and shunts them off.

Sweat is 99 per cent water while the rest is made up of salt, fat, lactic acid, uric acid and potassium. Since the body stores tiny amounts of environmental toxins in fatty tissues, it’s possible that even these may turn up as well in the sweat.

There are two types of sweat glands located in the dermis of the skin. The eccrine, found all over the body chiefly on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands, prepares plenty of clear sweat that is low in organic matter and is odourless though it can take on the smell of certain liquids or foods that have been consumed.

The other is the highly sensitive apocrine which becomes active after puberty and produces a milky secretion that breaks down into fatty acids on mingling with local bacteria resulting in offensive odour. Since the apocrine glands remain stagnant in babies and the young, they smell sweet. Though we all have the same number of sweat glands per skin area, the amount of sweat varies from person to person. On average, women perspire less than men but those engaged in strenuous activities sweat much more. In men the sweat glands exude a hormone called testosterone which by itself is odourless. However, a host of bacteria known as ‘coryneform’ located in the armpits convert testosterone into substances that emit a seductive musk-like odour so typical of those sexy sweaty shirts!

During middle-age, people with a weak digestive system are not able to metabolise foods like fish, eggs, nuts, legumes and liver and they discharge strong odours. Coffee, colas and chocolates also tend to stimulate the apocrine glands – concentrated in moist areas of armpits, breasts, naval and the groin – so more sweat oozes out from the pores.

Excessive chronic-sweating called ‘hyperhidrosis’ can be due to genetic disorder, tension, low blood sugar, obesity or menopause. Sweating can be controlled by maintaining proper personal hygienes sometimes, pouring water on the body does suffice since our skin is an amazing self-cleansing organ but when dirt, dust, dead cells and stale make-up clog pores and hamper the skin’s natural functions, a proper cleansing is required to remove accumulated pollutants without disturbing the skin’s normal balance.

Soap and water are commonly used for bathing and most soaps have fine floral notes that leave the body refreshed and relaxed. But enough water must be used to clear impurities as well as any soap residue.

Applying body lotion or talcum powder after the bath adds to the effect of freshening up. Talc absorbs moisture and diminishes body odour though it lasts for a short while. Lotions and perfumes too repress body odour temporarily and that also aesthetically. However they don’t fight bacteria and when sweat overpowers the scent, a stale whiff survives.

Deodorants do a neater job to control body odour and keep delightful day-long fragrant freshness. They contain antiseptic ingredients and choice essences that destroy bacteria and keep the skin sweet-smelling. Deodorants are available as sprays, roll-ons and deosticks.

Sprays: Formulated with active bactericidals and exquisite perfume, they must be used after stepping out of the bath. They should be sprayed carefully by holding the container away from the face and allowed to set before dressing up, as they can leave stains on clothes.

Roll-ons: A thick liquid rolls out through a ball at the mouth of the bottle when pressed on the skin. It feels sticky at first but soon a thin layer adheres to the skin’s surface and partly seals the pores. Less is better as excess deodorant may cause discomfort.

Deo-sticks: Most convenient to use by rubbing the stick on dry skin. As it has little effect on wet skin, make sure to wipe the body properly. It’s handy to carry in the purse and re-apply whenever one needs to freshen up. Some deo-sticks have a pronounced perfume to mask body odour.

Select a deodorant that works well for your skin and gives total satisfaction. If a product induces an itch or blisters the skin, avoid it and try some other brand. Use of any deodorant should be restricted to thrice a week as frequent application reduces its potency. Often, sweat dilutes the deodorant and, in the course of time, builds natural immunity to that particular product.

An anti-perspirant with its two-in-one formula has a long-lasting effect and doesn’t wash off or vanish easily. When it is applied a powdery coat forms on the skin and chemicals like aluminium, salts arrest the flow of sweat considerably while eliminating body odour. The right time to use an anti-perspirant is before retiring to bed at night as then it works for a longer time and makes the skin slow down on sweating.

ANTI-PERSPIRANTS

Some preservatives in antiperspirants can be harmful for those with tender, sensitive skins resulting in a rash. They should use phitikari (alum) containing sulphate of aluminium and potash on armpits, or rub the juice of onion, lettuce or mint leaves to curtail excess sweat and prevent body odour.

Hair follicles are ground for apocrine glands to set up body odour. When sweat doesn’t dry up, bacteria – the real culprits – take over and cause decomposition and let off a repugnant stink. Make sure the pubic area and armpits are clear of hair.

If you experience sweating of the scalp, where the skin’s natural lubricants are concentrated, rub eaude-cologne in hair roots before combing. This will help and the hair will also become more fragrant and bouncier.

Sweating of feet can be embarrassing when, on removal of footwear, a stench which is annoying to olfactory senses shoots up. Fungi thrive in warm moist places and increase rapidly between the toes. Best is to keep feet dry and clean and spray some talc or deodorant before stepping into well-aired shoes.

In warm weather, drink plenty of liquids which will prevent dehydration and aid in diluting apocrine gland secretions. Try to stay calm and relaxed and wear loose, freshly-laundered cotton clothes. Avoid synthetics as these prevent air-circulation and don’t permit perspiration to escape.

Most ultra-violet rays are harsh and bounce off concrete surfaces. Zinc, an effective ingredient in sunscreens is the white paste that we find cricketers apply below their eyes and lips to safeguard from the sun’s glare. Some cream products claim their sunscreen is sweat-proof and longlasting, yet no sunscreen is absolutely sweat-proof. The fragrant cleansers that we use to combat odour often merge with our skin chemistry and become identified as our particular body aroma. Some regard this distinct smell to be alluring as it often conveys signals of sexual intent.

And see what someone has to say on this subject: “A horse sweats, a truckman perspires – but a woman glows!” So don’t let your apocrine glands get you down even if you lead a hectic life and are always on the go!
