Hyperhydrosis Sweat

Sweating, otherwise known as perspiring, normally occurs on the skin to cool down the body when it gets too hot. For some people, however, sweat pours from the skin more frequently than it does for others. Excessive sweat, otherwise known as hyperhydrosis, may become problematic  when it occurs while one is out with friends, or in a classroom, or during other low level activities that do not normally cause participants to perspire. Sweat may also arise as a result of nervousness, illness, as well as occur from taking medications, drinking alcohol, or other stimulating factors.

Many myths exist about sweating, for examples, some believe sweat causes body odor, that baby powder/talc can relieve or reduce wetness caused from perspiration, or that male sweat glands occur in higher numbers than they do in females.

Fascinating facts about hyperhydrosis sweat, as well as sweat in general, help bring about the truth... Below this info is a children's poem about sweat...

 Sweat

"Sweat"
by R. Renee Bembry

My Sonny Boy
My Sonny Boy
He likes to play the sports
He gets so hot when he plays
He drinks water by the quarts
His tiny pores
Get gigantic
As sweat pours
From his hands and neck
His back
His feet
His head
His face
Make sweat drip
All over the place

After the game
I take him home
To take a bath
And get fresh clothes
He drops dirty duds
On the floor
Piled in front of
The bathroom door
His funky socks
His funky shoes
When I see them
I'm not amused

I walk in and
I see a bruise
Under his eye
And it looks new
I say
Hey
When did you get hit
You didn't cry
You didn't flinch
He says
Mom I'm a big kid now
I wipe the sweat
Under his brow
