Got Sweaty Feet? We Have Solutions!

Wet, sloshy and sweaty feet that slide around in your sandals. That can’t feel good. Why don’t they stop sweating?

You’re not alone!

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be embarrassing and cause emotional stress. This disorder predominantly affects the palms, soles and under arms.

Hyperhidrosis may actually be a symptom of other medical conditions, medications, or over-activity of certain nerves that control the sweat glands.

We know what all this sweating does to your feet. Patients have an increased incidence of irritation, blistering, skin infections, foot odor, and can impact your personal and social life.

Treatments options include:
1. Foot powders
2. Anti-perspirants
3. Prescriptive medications
4. Herbal remedies
5. Acupuncture
6. Botox injections
7. Iontopheresis (Electrical stimulation to your feet while in the water)
8. Surgical sympathetomy (Destroying the nerves that are responsible for this sweating. Yikes!)

Here are some easy things you can start doing now:
1. Alter your diet and avoid hot, spicy food! If it makes your head sweat, guess what?
2. Chose natural materials such as leather for your dress shoes which allow your feet to breathe. Pleather is OUT!
3. When you are sitting on the couch, let those feet air out!
4. Wear the newer athletic synthetic socks that absorb sweat and change them often. Nylon hose or socks are the absolute worst!
5. Need to wear the nylon for your dress shoes and what about sandals?
Do we have the product for you!
