"Primary Hyperhidrosis", also known as "Focal Hyperhidrosis" appears without a known cause and is more common than "Secondary Hyperhidrosis". Primary Hyperhidrosis usually starts at childhood and persists throughout life. Whilst nervousness and anxiety can elicit or aggravate excessive sweating, psychological disturbances are not always the reason.

As the name suggests, "Secondary Hyperhidrosis", is secondary to another condition which is causing the excessive sweating. Conditions that cause Secondary Hyperhidrosis include Cancer, Diabetes, Gout, Glucose Control Disorders, Hyperthyroidism, Menopause, Mercury Poisoning and Pituitary Disorders. Drugs can also cause Secondary Hyperhidrosis.

Most manufacturers claim that their Antiperspirants effectively stop sweat all day long. Yet if you suffer from the medical condition "Hyperhidrosis" (excessive sweating), you will have applied Antiperspirant, put on your shirt, and within minutes found that your shirt is soaked with sweat.

Strangely enough, sweat is typically odourless, it is the bacteria which cause body odour - they live on the skin and thrive in the hot, moist conditions of the sweaty areas, which cause body odour. In the average person, only 1% of the body’s sweat is produced in the armpits, yet antiperspirants are mainly designed for this area because it is the most likely region to produce body odour. For those suffering from Axillae Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the armpits), we sweat all over, but the armpits sweat so excessively that it runs down our sides and produces large wet marks on our clothes.

There are around 1 million Apocrine and 3 million Eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands within the human body. Eccrine glands are far more widely spread across the skin and release their sweat directly onto the skin. Sweat secreted from these glands is mostly composed of water and mineral salts (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese etc ).

Apocrine sweat glands release their liquid into hair follicles in the armpits (axillae), around the nipples and groin areas. Apocrine sweat contains pheromones – chemicals which communicate information through smell (NOTE  we are not consciously aware of this scent).

How does Body Odour occur, when sweat is usually odourless - the bacteria which naturally live on the skin, feed and multiply within the moist, warm, dark areas of excessive sweating. It is the bacterial process of breaking down the sweat and feeding upon it, which causes body odour. This is why sweat coming from skin that is exposed to light and air like your hands and head, tend not to smell, whereas areas which are covered with clothing, away from air circulation and light tend to be the worst areas for body odour. It is worth pointing out that some foods such as onions, garlic, curry and hot spices are thought to contain chemicals which can be excreted by the skin, in effect making your sweat itself have an unpleasant odour.

So, keeping bacteria in check is the key to fighting body odour. Showering at least once per day is essential. Washing meticulously those areas prone to bacteria and body odour such as sweaty armpits and feet is essential. Drying yourself thoroughly is often neglected, but it is very important as you do not want the bacteria to start multiplying in the moist areas, where the towel has not been. Armpit hairs help to retain moisture and also give the bacteria more places to multiply, so it is worth considering shaving your armpits, even if you are male.

It goes without saying, that clean towels and clean clothes are essentials in fighting body odour. Not only do you need to wash your clothes effectively using a good detergent and / or right temperature, but drying them thoroughly and quickly too - that damp characteristic smell from "clean" washing comes from bacteria that has survived the wash and has had time to multiply in the dark, damp recesses of wet, unaired "washing".

Deodorants are products which are applied topically to mask the smell of body odour at the site where it is applied. Most manufacturers claim that their products effectively deodorise all day long. Yet if you suffer from excessive sweating (hyperhi drosis), you, like me will have found that those mass-market deodorants do not deodorise "all day long".

Deodorants are not designed to reduce sweating - you need an antiperspirant to stop sweating.
