This is especially true when I'm about to meet new peo- ple. It's very embarrass- ing. Any suggestions? DEAR READER: Sweating helps you to maintain your body tem- perature. But when your body sweats more than it needs to, that's called "hyperhidrosis." Sometimes excess sweating occurs over only one part of the body. This may include your underarms, the palms of the hands, or — as in your case — the forehead. the first place? Sweating helps our body lose heat. On a hot day, when we exercise and increase our internal body heat, or when we have a fever, the evaporation of sweat from our skin helps our bodies get rid of excess heat. Sweat glands are also activated as part of the fight-or-flight response. This is a protective response for avoiding or dealing with danger. The fight-or-flight response causes our heart to beat faster, our mus- cles to tense up, and prompts other changes that raise our internal body heat. That's why, when you become anxious, your body reacts by sweating, to help get rid of extra heat. Start by consulting a dermatologist. He or she will address the sweat- ing rather than the emo- tions that may be trig- gering it. Why do we sweat in The doctor will check out whether there is a medical cause for your hyperhidrosis. For exam- ple, sweating can increase in people with certain hormone disor- ders, including hyperthy- roidism, neurological ill- nesses such as Parkin- son's disease, and cancer. Some medications, including the tricyclic antidepressants nortripty- line and desipramine, can cause hyperhidrosis, too.

Anxiety med may relieve excessive sweating Assuming Dr. K by Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. there's no med- ical cause, your doctor may rec- ommend apply- ing a liquid med- icine to the skin in any areas that sweat easily, like your forehead. The most com- mon type con- tains aluminum chloride. This is the same chemical used in many antiperspirants. If such a liquid medi- cine doesn't work, your doctor may suggest bot- ulinum toxin (Botox) injections. This sub- stance inhibits the nerves that trigger the sweat glands. I have a number of patients who, like you, are concerned about their tendency to sweat. What I notice is that their anxiety about situ- ations is made worse by their anxiety about sweating. That may be the case with you. You're already anxious about meeting new peo- ple, and on top of that you're anxious about the new people noticing that Flu season is coming.....

If you get the sweating under control, your confidence may increase. As a result, you may feel less anxious going into social settings. Anxiety medication, such as an SSRI (selec- tive serotonin reuptake inhibitor) can also help. When these drugs are effective, you should feel less anxious. And in turn, you should sweat less. *** In my column of Oct. 20 on outdated medi- cines, I said that there was little toxicity from the vast majority of medicines when they become outdated. That is true, but an alert read- er reminded me that when tetracycline antibiotics get outdated they can, on rare occa- sion, cause kidney dam- age.
