Upper body heat irritating sweating

Upper body thermally irritating hyperhidrosis refers to a disease of excessive secretion of sweat glands in the upper body due to thermal stimulation. It is common in night sweats. Hyperhidrosis is a disease caused by excessive excretion of sweat glands due to excessive excitability of sympathetic nerves. Sympathetic nerves govern sweating throughout the body. Under normal circumstances, the sympathetic nerves regulate the body temperature by controlling sweating and heat dissipation. But sweating and facial flushing in patients with hyperhidrosis are completely out of normal control. Sweating and facial flushing put patients in a state of helplessness, anxiety, or panic every day. Compensatory hyperhidrosis is caused by the sweat glands in one part being treated by some factors, and the sweat glands in another part are compensated to maintain body temperature. According to the different symptoms and manifestations of hyperhidrosis, hyperhidrosis can be divided into the following categories: One is to divide hyperhidrosis into primary hyperhidrosis and secondary hyperhidrosis: Primary hyperhidrosis This kind of hyperhidrosis due to sympathetic nerve hyperactivity, rather than disease, is medically called primary hyperhidrosis. Most people with hyperhidrosis belong to this type of hyperhidrosis. Although they do not affect their physical health, they cause great inconvenience and trouble in life. Secondary hyperhidrosis In addition, a small number of people have increased sweating due to physical illness. This condition is called secondary hyperhidrosis, such as hyperthyroidism, endocrine disease, mental illness, and endocrine imbalance in menopause. . This hyperhidrosis caused by diseases of other tissues and organs must seek medical treatment for the disease itself, and is not suitable for sympathetic nerve surgery. One is to divide hyperhidrosis into generalized hyperhidrosis and localized symptoms: generalized hyperhidrosis can be an abnormal physiological reaction, or some diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc. One of the symptoms. The skin surface of systemic hyperhidrosis is often moist and has paroxysmal sweating. Local hyperhidrosis Local hyperhidrosis can be due to sympathetic nerve damage or abnormal response, increased choline acetate secretion, causing the small sweat glands to secrete excessive sweat. Local hyperhidrosis is common in the palms, plantars, underarms, followed by the tip of the nose, forehead, genitals, etc., and most often occur in adolescents. Patients often have peripheral blood circulation dysfunction, such as cold and cold skin, bruising or pale hands, feet, and frostbite Wait. Foot sweating due to poor evaporation of the sweat, resulting in dip whitening of the epidermis of the soles of the feet, often accompanied by foot odor. When sweating in the armpits and genitals, the skin is thin and tender, often wet and rubbing, and it is prone to abrasion of erythema, accompanied by folliculitis and scabies.
