Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the person sweats excessively and often in colder environments. This is also called“Sticky Skin Syndrome.” It primarily affects the body parts, like the palms, underarms, face, soles, and, in many cases, all over the body. While this condition is not life-threatening, it can be socially, emotionally, and professionally distressing. The patient may feel embarrassed and suffer low self-esteem and anxiety. This condition is believed to be caused by overactive sweat glands, hormonal imbalances, or any other underlying health condition. Conventional treatments may offer short-term results, though they remain ineffective over the long run. Additionally, there is always the chance of side effects. On the other hand, Homeopathy offers a safe, natural, and holistic approach to managing and potentially treating Hyperhidrosis or the Sticky Skin Syndrome.
Hyperhidrosis homeopathic treatment is safer than conventional medications, as they are highly personalized for each patient’s unique symptoms and needs.

Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis (Sticky Skin Disease)
The name of this disease is self-explanatory. However, a patient with the condition may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Excessive sweating beyond what’s needed to maintain the body’s normal temperature
- Sweating even in cold climates or without any physical exertion
- Moist or wet palms, soles, underarms, and even the face
- Noticeable sweat stains on the clothes
- Having a slippery grip or difficulty handling objects due to sweaty hands
- Skin maceration that is, soaking excess moisture in the affected area, leading to softening of the skin
- Irritation in the affected area due to constant moisture
- Episodes of abnormal sweating lasting minutes or hours, generally occurring daily
The symptoms may also vary from one person to another. In some, the symptoms can be more localized, while in others, the whole body may be affected.
Hyperhidrosis: The Cause
There is no single reason or cause, and Hyperhidrosis can be caused by a number of different factors. Depending upon the type, Hyperhidrosis can be:
Idiopathic or Primary hyperhidrosis and
Secondary hyperhidrosis.
Primary Hyperhidrosis: Primary or idiopathic Hyperhidrosis can have one or more of the following underlying factors:
- Overactive sympathetic nervous system, the one that is responsible for the body’s fight or flight response
- Age: the problem is found to start in childhood or adolescence
- Heredity that is, family history, though not confirmed
Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is generally caused by an underlying health condition, like:
- A hormonal imbalance, like in the case of hyperthyroidism, menopause, etc.
- An infection or fever
- A metabolic disorder, like diabetes (high blood sugar) or low blood sugar
- Antidepressants, painkillers and other medications
- Being obese or overweight
- Cardiovascular, that is, heart disorders
- Anxiety and stress
A thorough diagnosis is crucial to decide the right treatment strategy and ensure the best results.
How to Diagnose ‘Sticky Skin Disease’ (Hyperhidrosis)?
In addition to visual inspection and assessing patient history, several diagnostic tests can be performed to confirm the presence of Hyperhidrosis.
- Starch-Iodine Test: In this test iodine solution is applied to the skin. After the solution has dried, the lab technician sprinkles starch powder over the area. If the person is sweating, the moisture will react with the iodine-starch combination and turn the affected area purple or dark blue. This color change helps with visual mapping the location and severity of sweating, confirming Hyperhidrosis. This also gives a near-precise idea of the area where the treatment needs to be targeted.
- Gravimetric Test: This specialized test measures the exact amount of sweat produced during a time period and uses pre-weighed filter paper.
- Thermoregulatory Sweat Test: A special powder is applied to the person’s body, which changes color as the person sweats. This person would be placed in a warm, humid environment to reveal overall sweating patterns across his/her body.
- Minor’s Test: This is a variation of the Starch-Iodine Test and is used to map the sweating of the person before a procedure like Botox treatment or surgery.
- Questionnaires: Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale or HDSS is a set of questions to be answered by the tested person and helps understand how excessive sweating impacts daily activities and life of the person.
Conventional Treatments Vs. Homeopathy For Sticky Skin Syndrome (Hyperhidrosis)
The conventional approach to treating Hyperhidrosis includes suppressing the excessive sweating by the means of:
- Antiperspirants – medications that stop or reduce sweating
- Oral medicines that reduce the activity of the sweat glands
- Botox injections to block nerve signals in the affected area
- Surgical procedures, like sympathectomy – for severe cases
Though these medications and methods may seem to be working quickly, they rarely offer a lasting solution. Additionally, there is always a greater risk of side effects, like skin irritation, compensatory sweating, and dryness of mouth.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment In Homeopathy
Homeopathy for sticky skin syndrome can offer holistic treatment, aimed at treating the root cause rather than just suppressing the symptoms superficially.
Here’s how it works:
- Homeopathic medicines are highly personalized to the patient and are custom-selected after careful assessment of the case. This approach focuses on correcting the overactivity of the sweat glands, that is, the root cause of Hyperhidrosis.
- By principle, homeopathy considers the individual as a whole, and therefore, the treatment is not targeted to just treat the problem. Instead, it works on the physical, mental, and emotional levels of the patient to harmonize these systems.
- Homeopathic treatments simultaneously address any underlying health issues or factors like hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, etc.
- Hyperhidrosis homeopathic treatment is completely non-invasive and prevents complications.
This personalized approach makes Homeopathy for sticky skin syndrome highly effective and desirable. However, one must always consult a qualified Homeopathic Doctor for the treatment and avoid self-medication.
