Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is common and can affect the whole body or just certain areas. Sometimes it gets better with age but there are things you can do and treatments that can help.

Although it is normal to sweat if you get hot or do exercise, but you may be sweating excessively if you’re sweating when your body does not need to cool down. Excessive sweating can happen for no obvious reason, because of another condition you may have, or as a side effect of a medicine you’re taking.

To avoid excessive sweating; wear loose-fitting clothes to minimize signs of sweating, wear socks that absorb moisture and change your socks at least twice a day if possible and try to wear different shoes day to day. Do not wear tight clothes or synthetic fabrics—for example, nylon In addition, it is important not to wear enclosed boots or sports shoes that may cause your feet to sweat more.

Do not do things that might make your sweating worse—for example, drinking alcohol or eating spicy food.
