Scalp Hyperhidrosis Isn`t in Your Head
The word “hyperhidrosis” isn`t one that you hear often hear around the office water cooler. But you`re probably familiar with the symptom: excessive sweating. Though sweating is a part of life and is quite a natural function, excess perspiring is far from normal. In order to recognize and treat it better, here are some need-to-know facts about a particular type of the disorder: scalp hyperhidrosis:
1. Extreme perspiring is unnatural.
Water is the essence of life. Humans, plants, and animals can`t live without it. And when your body temperature rises above normal, your body uses perspiration to cool it down. That`s why you should drink plenty of water whenever you`re in situations that will increase your sweating—to replenish the water that you lose from perspiring.
But excessive perspiration is quite another story. People who suffer from hyperhidrosis tend to experience it in the underarms, feet, and palms. While people sweat more in certain normal situations, those who suffer from excessive sweating, such as scalp hyperhidrosis, virtually sweat around the clock. Some even start sweating immediately after the finish bathing!
2. Excessive head sweating can start early.
Those who suffer from excess head sweating often experience problems during their childhood or the early part of their adolescence. The problem becomes worse during puberty, when there are tons of things to activate the perspiring—peer pressure, relationship issues, and choices about one`s future. Then the problem tends to last throughout one`s life. Since the condition is often genetic, it might seem logical to assume that there`s nothing one can do, to control excess perspiring. But that`s untrue! The key is to treat a sweating problem (such as scalp hyperhidrosis) as early as possible, and to treat it effectively.
3. Sweating problems aren`t related to body odor.
While we often assume that body odor is a result of excessive perspiration, science says otherwise. In certain parts of the body, such as the underarms and groin area, a thick substance is emitted when one perspires. Then when bacteria on the body blend with this substance, the result is an unpleasant smell. The bottom line is that shampooing your head a hundred times a day would do nothing to treat your scalp hyperhidrosis. It would only provide you with really clear hair!
4. Exercise typically won`t result in head hyperhidrosis.
While exercise will definitely cause you to sweat more, it usually won`t trigger the symptoms of hyperhidrosis. More common causes include eating spicy food, being in areas with high temperatures, and emotional stress. Sure, all of these factors can cause anyone to sweat. But for those who suffer from hyperhidrosis, such stimuli can cause them to sweat buckets. The key is to balance your Central Nervous System (CNS), so such situations won`t cause you to sweat more than those who don`t suffer from hyperhidrosis. Some treatments simply work more effectively than others do.
