Excessive Sweating Treatment | Antiperspirants

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition where sweat glands become overactive, causing perspiration beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. This collection of antiperspirants and specialist treatments on Welzo is curated to help individuals manage underarm sweating, hand and foot sweating, facial sweating and generalised sweat concerns. Users can compare high-strength antiperspirants and targeted treatments suitable for daily use, travel, sport and long-term sweat management.

What is Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating occurs when the sweat glands activate more frequently or intensely than necessary, even in cool temperatures or periods of rest. It commonly affects the underarms, palms, soles and face, but can also be generalised across the body. Hyperhidrosis can be primary (with no underlying cause) or secondary (triggered by medications, hormones or medical conditions). Its impact can be physical, social and emotional, making effective treatment essential for confidence, comfort and daily function.

Expert Insight: How Antiperspirants Work

Antiperspirants reduce sweat production by forming temporary plugs within the sweat ducts. Unlike deodorants—which only mask odour—antiperspirants directly reduce moisture. High-strength clinical formulas often contain aluminium chloride or aluminium chlorohydrate, which are proven to decrease sweat at the gland level.

• Clinical-strength formulas: Products with higher aluminium concentrations can significantly reduce sweating in the underarms, hands and feet.
• Best used at night: Applying antiperspirant to completely dry skin before bed improves absorption as sweat production naturally decreases overnight.
• Maintenance routine: Once sweating is controlled, most users apply strong antiperspirants once or twice weekly to maintain dryness.
• Targeted areas: Palms, soles and underarms often require different formats—gels, sprays, roll-ons or creams.
• Supportive care: Breathable clothing, foot powders and absorbent underarm pads can enhance results.

Why Effective Sweat Control Matters

Persistent sweating can cause skin irritation, body odour, chafing, dehydration risk and social discomfort. Clinically formulated antiperspirants help individuals regain control of their daily routines, protect clothing, improve personal comfort and avoid the inconvenience of frequent outfit changes.

How to Use Antiperspirants for Best Results

• Apply to clean, fully dry skin—moisture decreases effectiveness.
• Use at night and wash off in the morning unless advised otherwise.
• Avoid using immediately after shaving the underarms to prevent irritation.
• Start with nightly use; reduce to maintenance application once sweating decreases.
• For hands and feet, ensure the skin is fully dry before applying.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant?

Deodorants control odour, while antiperspirants reduce the amount of sweat produced by temporarily blocking sweat ducts.

2. Can I use antiperspirants on hands and feet?

Yes, many clinical-strength antiperspirants can be safely used on the palms and soles. Apply sparingly to clean, dry skin.

3. How long does it take to see results?

Some people notice results after the first night. Most see significant reduction within several days of consistent nightly use.

4. Why does my antiperspirant cause burning or irritation?

This can happen if applied to damp skin or immediately after shaving. Use on completely dry skin and consider moisturising in the morning.

5. Is excessive sweating a medical condition?

Yes—hyperhidrosis is recognised as a condition involving overactive sweat glands, and it can be treated effectively with topical products.

6. Will I sweat more in other areas if I block sweat glands?

No. Antiperspirants reduce local sweat production but do not cause the body to “redirect” sweat elsewhere.

7. Can I use strong antiperspirants every day?

Daily use is safe for many people, but clinical-strength products often work best with 1–3 applications per week once sweating is controlled.

8. Are these treatments safe long-term?

Yes. High-strength antiperspirants have been used for decades and are widely considered safe when used as directed.

9. Can excessive sweating be linked to anxiety?

Yes—stress and anxiety can trigger sweat glands. Combining antiperspirants with stress-management techniques can improve results.

10. When should I seek medical advice?

If sweating is severe, sudden, affects daily functioning or does not improve with strong antiperspirants, speaking to a clinician is recommended.
