What Is Anhidrosis?
7. Management
The options for treatment of anhidrosis and hypohidrosis are limited. Those with this condition should avoid medications that can aggravate the condition, limit activities that raise the core body temperature, and exercise in well-ventilated and sheltered environments. When the primary cause of hypohidrosis or anhidrosis is known, specific treatment can be targeted at the primary pathology.
In autoimmune diseases such as systemic sclerosis and Sjogren syndrome, treatment using immunosuppressants may lead to improvement of the condition. However, treatment for neurological diseases is often irreversible. In these cases, prevention of further damage such as ensuring good glycemic control in diabetics is crucial. Many cases have also been reported to respond to corticosteroids.
