Plantar Hyperhidrosis: Excessive Sweating of the Feet

Too Much Sweating of the Feet or Plantar Hyperhidrosis

Too much sweating of the feet can be hidden. However, excessive foot perspiration can lead to odors and ruining of shoes, which, after a while, can be quite expensive. Individuals with combined hyperhidrosis of the palms and excessive sweating of the soles have a good chance to improve the sweating of their feet after an operation (however side effects loom over this operation) that aims to suppress sweating of both the hands and the feet.

MegaDry antiperspirant would never recommend such an operation and would advise that all surgery be evaluated as only a last resort for any kind of excessive sweating. Isolated plantar hyperhidrosis can, however, only sometimes be cured by Lumbar Sympathectomy, an open abdominal procedure with many complications for the long term.
