Transpiration

Unwanted transpiration and measures against it

Excessive transpiration

In todays society transpiration is perceived as being disagreeable. Transpiration, the odor linked to it just like stains on clothing are not really tolerated. Concerned persons feel ashamed. Often, this causes psychological problems. In such cases serious consequences might result from this. It can even end up in social phobia, where contact to others is completely avoided. If the self-confidence of the concerned person is affected to that extend that he or others cannot help him anymore, something needs to be done about it.

What can be done about transpiration

There are different ways to reduce transpiration or even inhibit it entirely. Surgical interventions like the sweat gland removal are a possibility. With this procedure, the biggest part of the sweat glands can be removed. Temporarily this produces relief. However, most of the times transpiration returns after several years as the sweat glands start reproducing. Generally conservative measures against transpiration should be taken first. Therefore trying out an antiperspirant should be done before surgical measures are taken into consideration.

What is an antiperspirant?

Effective antiperspirants are based on aluminum salts. Other than conventional deodorants, such antiperspirants do not just cover body odor but really inhibit transpiration. Antiperspirants need to be applied before going to bed on dry and clean skin. This is essential in order that they can unfold their effect and inhibit transpiration.

Can an anti-perspirant be dangerous?

Often it is alleged that antiperspirants inhibiting transpiration might be dangerous. However, this is absolutely not the case. The ingredients of an antiperspirant do not get into the blood stream and only take effect superficially. All scientific researches about transpiration and antiperspirants confirm this.
