Hyperhidrosis
Sweating is a normal reaction of the body, especially when functioning well. It is the body’s natural process to cool down. However, in some cases, sweating occurs without exerting effort on the body. When this condition happens, it is called hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is described as uncontrollable and excessive sweating. When a person is excessively sweating, even though there’s no involvement of heat or exercise, it may be related to this skin condition. Hyperhidrosis is a condition that may indicate more severe conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problem, or infection.
Study shows that hyperhidrosis is related to the growth of toenail fungus. Sweat creates a place wherein the fungi thrive. It is a perfect condition for toenail fungus to grow and develop. Through sweat, these fungi can breed and spread easily on the feet. People infected with hyperhidrosis have an apparent overabundance of sweat on their feet. A strong odor usually accompanies this excessive sweating. In addition, the risk of infections and diseases rises when the feet are soaked in sweat.
