Excessive sweating is a challenge. Especially when it comes to dressing. From top to bottom (shoes, sandals). It is important to learn to manage their sweat to improve their quality of life. This can done by managing hyperhidrosis with a doctor, or via alternative methods. One of these methods is to choose clothing that allows you to control, or absorb excessive sweat.
In most cases, hyperhidrosis is not dangerous, but wearing clothing on top of moist skin can cause irritation. The worst case scenario would be if the irritation on the skin turned into an active skin infection.
Wearing clothing that allows for breathability and using over-the-counter topical treatments for hyperhidrosis may help prevent the issues.
A shirt may sound like a simple thing, but it is hard to choose one when someone has pit stain problems. Plain white t-shirts can always can always work in a pinch. It is best not to choose colors like light gray or anything bright as these will highlight stains.
There are pads specifically made to soak up underarm sweat. These conveniently adhere to garments and can be used in cases where other measures may just not be enough. You can also use special powders on your feet to prevent moisture build up and irritation.
Sometimes sweat just happen, so it is a good idea to bring back up clothes. Hyperhidrosis can be managed with alternative methods, like wearing certain types of clothing, so that someone’s life is less affected by the constant sweating that is part of their daily life.
