What is the reason for excessive foot sweating? Here are three reasons to tell you

Foot sweat usually occurs together with athlete's foot. Foot sweat is different from athlete's foot. It is not a disease. It is the result of the feet sweating easily. The organic matter in the sweat decomposes and produces an unpleasant irritating odor. Foot sweat is more serious in winter and may even cause frozen feet. So what causes excessive foot sweat?

1. People with sweaty feet should wear cotton socks and cloth or leather shoes. Such shoes and socks are highly absorbent and foot sweat can evaporate easily. It is not advisable to wear non-breathable rubber shoes. When you must wear them, you can put a layer of breathable and absorbent insoles in the shoes, such as bamboo charcoal insoles, cotton insoles, etc. to keep your feet dry. It is not suitable to wear leather high boots.

2. About 60% of patients with palm hyperhidrosis also have the problem of sole hyperhidrosis. The troubles of sweaty soles include bad odor, athlete's foot that is difficult to heal, and even shoes that easily slip off when putting on and taking off.

3. Sweating on the face, palms and armpits is mainly controlled by the sympathetic nerves of the second, third and fourth thoracic vertebrae. Excessive sweating on the face, palms and armpits has been treated with thoracic endoscopic surgery for many years with very stable results. Sweating of the soles of the feet is controlled by the second lumbar ganglion, which is the lowest pair of the twenty-five pairs of sympathetic nerves. In addition to controlling the sweat glands in the soles of the feet, it is also related to reproductive and urinary functions. If it is damaged, it may affect other functions. Therefore, surgical treatment of sweating of the soles of the feet by destroying the lumbar sympathetic ganglia is still in the experimental stage at home and abroad, and the general public is not encouraged to accept it rashly.
