Understanding excessive hand sweating (palmar hyperhidrosis)
Excessive hand sweating, medically known as palmar hyperhidrosis, occurs when the sweat glands in the palms produce more sweat than the body needs to regulate temperature. Unlike normal sweating that happens with heat or activity, this condition is constant and often unpredictable. It can make even simple daily tasks—like holding a pen, typing on a keyboard, or shaking someone’s hand—challenging and uncomfortable.
People living with palmar hyperhidrosis may avoid physical contact, worry about damaging paper or electronic devices, or feel self-conscious in professional and social situations. The condition can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender, and may be influenced by genetics, certain medical conditions, or medications.
Identifying the cause of excessive sweating is important, as it helps guide a tailored and effective treatment plan.
Why hand sweating can be challenging
Palmar hyperhidrosis can be more than just inconvenient—it impacts how you interact with the world. Some common challenges include:
- Daily tasks: Slippery hands can make it hard to grip objects, write, or use touchscreens.
- Social discomfort: Many people feel anxious about handshakes or physical contact because of damp palms.
- Professional impact: Jobs that require precision or handling sensitive equipment can be difficult with persistent sweating.
- Skin irritation: Constant moisture can lead to rashes, peeling, or fungal infections.
Acknowledging these physical and emotional effects is the first step in managing the condition effectively.
Treatment options for excessive hand sweating
A variety of treatments exist to help manage palmar hyperhidrosis. These range from lifestyle measures to medical therapies, with the right choice depending on the severity of sweating and your individual needs.
Lifestyle and at-home strategies
For mild cases, simple changes may provide some relief:
- Antiperspirants: Specialised medical-grade antiperspirants can be applied to the hands to reduce sweat production.
- Absorbent aids: Hand wipes, powders, or specially designed hand covers may help manage moisture throughout the day.
- Daily hygiene: Frequent hand washing and drying can reduce odor and discomfort, though it may also cause dryness or irritation.
While these measures don’t usually eliminate hand sweating, they can be part of a broader treatment plan.
Medical management
For more persistent sweating, medical treatments may be recommended:
- Prescription topical treatments: Certain formulations target the sweat glands directly to reduce activity.
- Systemic medications: Oral medicines that regulate nerve signals to sweat glands can help, though side effects vary.
- Iontophoresis: A specialised treatment where hands are placed in water trays while a mild electrical current is applied, temporarily reducing sweat gland activity.
- Neuromodulator therapy: Some medical treatments reduce nerve activity to sweat glands, temporarily decreasing sweating. These are performed by qualified clinicians and may be suitable when other measures aren’t effective.
- Surgery: In severe, resistant cases, surgical intervention may be considered, targeting the nerves responsible for sweat production.
Each approach is personalised based on the extent of sweating, medical history, and lifestyle needs.
Managing expectations and results
The goal of treatment for hand sweating is to control and reduce symptoms, not necessarily eliminate perspiration completely. Outcomes depend on the treatment chosen, your body’s response, and ongoing care.
Many people notice improvements within days or weeks, with some treatments requiring maintenance sessions for lasting results. A consultation with an experienced clinician ensures your treatment plan is safe, effective, and tailored to your lifestyle.

Yes, there are injectable treatment options for hand sweating. The ideal option is best determined with an in person consultation, taking into consideration the severity of your sweating, and your tolerance for risk, cost and downtime.
You need surgery to permanently get rid of sweaty hands. This is best left for patients who don’t not responded to non-invasive treatments for hand sweating.
Hand sweating treatments are carried out in a clinical setting by a qualified professional. The approach depends on the method chosen, but commonly involves techniques that temporarily reduce the activity of sweat glands in the palms. The procedure is usually quick, and you can return to your normal activities soon after.
Most people find hand sweating treatments tolerable, though you will feel mild discomfort during the procedure. The hands are sensitive, so temporary stinging or tingling can occur, but this usually settles quickly. There are a range of effective strategies to minimise discomfort, which will be discussed during your consultation.
The results from hand sweating treatments are temporary, typically lasting several months. The exact duration depends on factors like your individual response, lifestyle, and the severity of your sweating. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended to sustain dryness and comfort over time.
Before your hand sweating treatment, arrive with clean hands free of lotions, creams, or nail products. It’s also best to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and vigorous exercise on the day of your appointment, as these can increase circulation and sensitivity. Your clinician will review your medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
After treatment for hand sweating, it’s best to avoid strenuous hand activities, hot environments, and excessive friction (like weightlifting or long typing sessions) for the first 24–48 hours. You should also avoid applying harsh skincare products to the area to reduce irritation and support healing.
Yes, treatments for hand sweating are generally considered safe when performed by an experienced clinician. While some approaches can have temporary side effects—such as mild weakness, tingling, or skin irritation—serious risks are rare. A personalised consultation ensures the safest and most appropriate option for your needs.
Some treatments for palmar hyperhidrosis, such as neuromodulator injections, may cause temporary hand weakness if the product affects nearby muscles. This is uncommon and usually mild, resolving as the treatment effect wears off. Your clinician will carefully plan and administer treatment to minimise this risk.
