Bad Skin and Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a social disease in many ways. One less talked about problem with excessive sweating, a symptom of hyperhidrosis, is the acne that may be a result of the constant and profuse sweating.
Excessive sweating is simply the overactive excretion of fluids using the pores in your body. You’re body needs to both cool itself and cleanse itself with sweating in general. People who sweat excessively often develop acne due to this constant sweating, which in turn leads to clogged pores and also bacteria on the skin, which then in turn leads to hyperhidrosis acne.
The clogging of pores by excessive sweating leads to the deposits of fatty oils and the body’s other waste products laying on the surface of the skin. This process of using sweat to get rid of waste through the skin’s pores, leads to the clogging of these same pores when sweating is constant. This constant sweating presents more fatty oil on the skin’s surface which then leads to even more growth of bacteria, in turn causing the skin deformity known as acne (blackheads, zits, etc.). This is how hyperhidrosis causes acne and other related skin diseases. Of course, there are many ways to take care of hyperhidrosis acne and these other related skin conditions, such as Proactiv and over the counter topical treatments, but many of these treatments may dry out the skin and cause irritation. It is then very important to decide on the level of treatment you may need specifically in your excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis acne situation. In the following paragraphs, we want to focus on the cause of this particular acne, the excessive sweating and the appropriate treatments for hyperhidrosis acne itself.
