10 Hyperhidrosis Symptoms
Symptom #3: Fungal Infections
Besides foul body odor, some skin infections may be hyperhidrosis symptoms. The excessive sweating that comes with the condition provides microorganisms such as fungus with favorable conditions for growth. The fungal growth conditions become even more favorable due to clothing such as socks.
When fungi get favorable conditions to grow, they multiply into large colonies, which cause skin infections in the affected areas. And because the conditions favorable for multiplication remain, the skin infections can spread to other parts of the body that keep moist due to sweating. Common fungal infections that may develop as a result of excessive sweating include athlete’s foot, nail infections, jock itch, and dandruff.
