Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Berpeluh Berlebihan (Hiperhidrosis)

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is needed for normal temperature regulation. It most commonly affects the palms, soles, armpits, and face. Primary hyperhidrosis has no identifiable medical cause and is thought to be due to overactive sweat glands with neurological triggers. Secondary hyperhidrosis can be caused by hyperthyroidism, diabetes, menopause, obesity, or certain medications. In Malaysia, the tropical climate makes excessive sweating a more impactful concern for daily life and work.

Symptoms of Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

✓Soaking wet palms or soles even in cool environments
✓Visible sweat on clothing in the armpits or back
✓Sweating that interferes with daily activities (writing, typing, handshaking)
✓Skin softening or breaking down from constant moisture
✓Body odour due to bacterial action on sweat
✓Social anxiety and embarrassment related to sweating

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if excessive sweating is affecting your quality of life, work, or social activities. Also see a doctor if sweating is generalised and new (especially night sweats), or accompanied by weight loss, heart palpitations, fever, or other symptoms — these may indicate an underlying medical condition.
