And it is not at all necessary to use expensive and not always safe procedures for this - for example, Botox injections. Traditional methods of treatment help to normalize the work of sweat glands even in the most difficult cases. The main thing that is needed for this is your desire. And consistency - if you remember the need to carry out this or that procedure a couple of times a week, you will not be able to achieve the desired result.
General recommendations for sweating feet
And one more very important detail – startingtreatment, remember the need to follow a number of rules. Following them will speed up recovery many times over. Otherwise, you can waste your time and energy - your feet will continue to sweat heavily. So:
- Personal hygiene
Feet should always be clean.Even if you come home exhausted and it seems to you that the most you have the strength for is to crawl to the sofa, be sure to look into the bathroom and wash your feet. Otherwise, in addition to increased sweating, you may also encounter foot fungus. By the way, be sure to dry your feet thoroughly, because moisture is a common cause of fungal diseases.
- The right choice of hosiery
Take a look in your closet.Surely you have a lot of socks. And how many of them are cotton? As a rule, not many.

And such socks create a very unfavorable microclimate and provoke increased sweating.
- Selection of shoes
The same applies to shoes.Unfortunately, quality footwear made from natural materials is quite expensive. And therefore, people increasingly buy cheap models that do not allow the foot to “breathe”. And very quickly they begin to pay for such savings – their feet begin to sweat more and more. Therefore, try not to save on footwear and buy only quality ones – after all, this is the most common cause of sweating. It is impossible not to say a few words about sports shoes. Recently, more and more often, sports shoes are used for other purposes – for everyday wear. But they are intended only for short-term wear – during sports. Therefore – no matter what quality and expensive sneakers you have – try not to wear them for more than two hours in a row. Otherwise, excessive sweating will sooner or later become your constant companion.
