What is hyperhidrosis in the feet?
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, in the feet is fairly common because the sole of the foot is dense with sweat glands. Hyperhidrosis occurs when sweat glands overact, often as a result of stimuli such as high temperatures or from emotional stimuli, such as stress, fear or excitement. It can also be caused by genetic constitution. In serious cases, excessive sweating can trigger maceration and dermatitis, and, depending on its location, can negatively impact a sufferer’s social life.
What are the causes of hyperhidrosis in the feet?
The main causes of hyperhidrosis in the feet can be divided into the following categories:
- Climatic: sweating due to high and humid temperatures
- Emotional: sweating due to situations of particular stress or tension
- Genetic: profuse sweating due to genetic constitution. Excessive sweating can cause maceration and chafing, which can later cause bacterial or fungal infections.

How to treat hyperhidrosis in the feet
Botulinum toxin, for local injections, can block this type of sweating but is an impractical treatment, as is nerve ganglion resection.
To control excessive sweating:
- Carefully wash the feet using Eudermic Cleansing Base.
- Dry the foot thoroughly, especially between the toes
- Apply Everydeo to clean, dry skin, massaging gently until fully absorbed.
Everydeo is formulated to regulate sweating and effectively counteract the formation of unpleasant odors through its combined antiperspirant and antibacterial action. It keeps the skin cool and dry for a long time, helping to improve daily comfort, even when sweating profusely.
