Spring brought us warm days, and immediatelythere was a desire to escape from the stuffy office to the beach to plunge into the cool sea. However, not all pleased the spring sun and tan "a la Hollywood." Some people with the approach of summer had a problem such as a strong or excessive sweating of the head. Let's be honest, this is not a pleasant feeling. Plus, in this case, the fair sex feels, to put it mildly, not very much. 
Why does my head sweat
Increased sweating of the scalp hasthe scientific name is hyperhidrosis. In most cases, this is not the cause of a serious illness, rather, it is considered a cosmetic defect. Everything depends on the constitutional peculiarity of man. However, those who encountered such a problem, familiar feeling of unease and discomfort in dealing with people. Some dermatologists believe that hyperhidrosis of the head can cause professional, social and psychological disadaptation of patients. Sweating of the head begins, as a rule, during adolescence (during puberty). The reasons can be any. For example, increased excitability of the autonomic nervous system, hormonal changes in the body. And both men and women suffer from hyperhidrosis equally. 
Types and causes of sweating
Depending on the cause, hyperhidrosis of the headit is customary to divide into primary and secondary. By the definition of "primary" is meant that hyperhidrosis is not associated with any disease. Intensified perspiration of the head in this case can develop due to mental overexcitation, excitement, emotional stress. If the head sweats in response to a change in the emotional state, then such a hyperhidrosis is called facial. In other words, this is how the body reacts to a stressful situation. Other factors causing excessive sweating, is the reception of spicy food, the use of strong coffee, tea. So try not to drink hot drinks in hot weather. The increase in external temperature and some odors can also become catalysts for the manifestation of excessive sweating. In the summer and autumn, try to wash yourself as often as possible, wipe your face with napkins, do not use perfume. Enhanced muscular activity in sports is another reason that provokes intense sweating of the head. Another cause of excessive sweating of the scalp may be dysfunction of the sweat glands or cranial hyperhidrosis. In this case, increased sweating and unpleasant odor, which it entails, cause the products of the life of bacteria that feed on the body's secretion of liquid. Only treatment will help here. It is necessary to undergo a complete examination to identify and solve the problem. Often, cranial hyperhidrosis is manifested due to the violation of metabolic processes in the body. For example, almost always there is increased sweating in a fat person. People with this problem are advised to wear light clothing made from natural fabrics and observe personal hygiene rules. Secondary hyperhidrosis is usually a concomitant symptom of a disease. Head sweating, which is local in nature, should alert you. So, for example, the increased sweating of the skin in the ear-temporal region (sometimes in combination with redness) can bother after previous mumps, an unsuccessful operation on the salivary gland. And, as a result, its damage. The so-called "drum-string syndrome" occurs in the form of intense perspiration in the chin area (due to taste irritation). In Parkinson's disease, the facial hyperhidrosis caused by the defeat of the autonomic nervous system can be disturbing. Chronic dermatosis is also characterized by profuse sweating of the nose and other parts of the face, as well as reddening of the skin and the presence of pink papules. 
What to do if the head is sweating
If you have a severe sweating, review yourway of life, go over cosmetic means, throw out substandard things. Synthetic caps or too tight kerchiefs do not allow breathing your skin. Because of this, a certain greenhouse effect is formed under them and the head overheats. As a result - increased sweating. To treat a primary hyperhidrosis or to cope with it independently - a person chooses himself what he should do in this case. If this is not a problem and does not interfere with work and comfortable communication, it is enough to simply use personal hygiene products more often. If the sharp smell does not confuse, then you can try special sprays with the addition of tar. A more global way to combat sweating is considered to be the subcutaneous injection of a special drug - botulinum toxin. This procedure consists in blocking the entry of a nerve impulse that is transmitted from the nerve to the sweat gland. Because of what the second becomes unable to allocate sweat. This method is considered the least dangerous in comparison, for example, with the application of aluminum salts, iontophoresis. Side effects, as a rule, with the introduction of the preparation of botulinum toxin are absent. If it is a secondary hyperhidrosis, then in order to eliminate the problem, you must first cure the concomitant disease. It should be remembered that excessive sweating of the head can be both a cosmetological defect and a symptom of a serious disease. Therefore, if you find a similar symptom, you need to see a doctor.
