Hyperhidrosis Group:

Help me, I have sweaty feet!

Sweaty feet are definitely an annoying companion and anyone would like to get rid of it and stop listening to spectacularly advices like: "Why donīt you bath your feet in urine?".
Sweaty feet result in the "swimming feeling" e.g. in poorly ventilated sneakers, which is worse than wearing pure leather footwear. Profuse sweating of the feet is known as hyperhidrosis or more specifically plantar hyperhidrosis. With or without bad odour, being able to live without hyperhidrosis would be the best case scenario for anyone who suffers from this condition.


What opportunities are there to treat plantar hyperhidrosis?

With an Iontophoresis device, there is a good chance you might achieve sweat-free feet. The Iontophoresis is an electrical current therapy, which gives a very promising chance, especially for your feet, to finally get rid of the odor problem as well as the sweaty feet ---> Iontophoresis against sweat!
The approach is simple: By using an Iontophoresis device the body should return to its natural function of sweating instead of producing excessive sweat. When you have less sweat, you usually do not smell the odor from the decomposition products of bacteria.


When sweating feet are in bound, the odor is usually very minimal as long as you donīt take off your shoes. Nevertheless, whenever you enter a house and take off your shoes, then the whole story of smelly feet will be revealed.
In extreme cases, you can sweat even in heavy shoes under any condition. The stinging smell of cheese is a nuisance, able to quickly chase anyone away. Most people who suffer from sweaty feet, desperately seek help, because they donīt know what else to do.
Give Iontophoresis a chance! Remember that although Hyperhidrosis is a serious condition, it still is a taboo subject in our society. Especially among young people and teenagers, who often donīt know who to talk about it or where to look for help! Most of the time, just approaching the situation and letting the affected person talk about it, giving her the feeling of understanding, might produce some first relief.
A companion of excessively sweaty feet, are unfortunately often excessively sweaty hands. This is probably because the affected persons, tend to sweat at all three of the main sweat areas. These are the armpits, the feet (with foot odor) and the hands.


Problems of excessive sweating

- Odor
Responsible for the odor are bacteria in your shoes and socks. Often there is no other way than throwing shoes and socks into the garbage - a very expensive affair. Another disadvantage, you bought some nice shoes and canīt wait to wear them, but then you realize that itīs not possible to wear them, because your feet sweat way too much!
Now, not everyone who sweats on his feet necessarily has to have smelly feet. The reason for this, and why some people who sweat extremely donīt have bad smelling socks, has not been solved yet. That is why the problem of bad odor in shoes stays unsolved.
Nevertheless it is a fact, that not every shoe generates smelly feet. Otherwise, even people who just sweat from normal effort, would have bad smelling socks.

- Sports
Especially annoying are extremely wet feet during workout and sports. With wet feet you loose grip more easily and end up “swimming” in your shoes and also very bad is the excoriation due to the clammy skin.
Regarding other sports like climbing and gymnastics, extreme sweaty hands can become a very unpleasant companion, since you need to have a very good handgrip all the time.

- Summer
During summer, when itīs possible to walk barefoot or in sandals, some people can get their problem under control. But for those who sweat extremely on their feet, it can become a nightmare to walk in sandals, because of the excoriations on the skin.
