concerned friend

my friend has recently expressed concern about sweating one side of body.can this be serious?

Hello!

if she/he is experiencing excessive sweating on one side of her/his body, then he/she specifically has unilateral hyperhidrosis.

Please understand that excessive sweating can be permanently controlled but not cured. Sweat glands are much more precisely controlled, and the amount of secretion and the area of the body involved can be varied independently. You have to ask your friend to see a neurologist.

I would definitely recommend your friend a more natural solution to treat excessive sweating. Start with some dietary changes, use proper body dusting powders to absorb the sweat and also use adequate de-odorisers.

Take care!
