10 Hyperhidrosis Symptoms
Symptom #5: Heat Rash
Excessive sweating may cause skin to develop heat rash. This may develop as a result of the sweat causing a prickling feeling on the skin. Excessive sweating may also lead to blocking of sweat ducts such that sweat cannot come out of the affected ducts. This can lead to inflammation and a skin rash.
Scratching can lead to skin breakages in the affected areas causing exposure to bacteria, fungus, viruses, and other disease-causing microorganisms. If these microorganisms find their way through the breakages, they can cause skin infections such as warts, athlete’s foot, and jock itch. To reduce your risk of infection, you may need to change your clothes multiple times daily and keep wiping off the sweat. You can also seek medical intervention for a more sustainable solution.
