Hyperhidrosis Climatic (Prickly Heat)

Climatic hyperhidrosis (Prickly Heat) is the appearance of an itchy rash or small raised red areas on the skin. The rash usually appears on the face, neck, back, chest and thighs. Young children and obese people are especially susceptible to it, and the rash most often appears in hot, humid weather.

The cause of climatic hyperhidrosis is blockage of the excretory ducts of the sweat glands; the only thing that can alleviate a person’s condition in this case is his transition to a cool place.

Medical name: miliaria.



Climatic hyperhidrosis (prickly heat) is a disease caused by excessive sweat production in certain areas of the skin. In other words, this is a pathological process that is associated with increased activity of the sweat glands. In many parts of the body, the rash resembles prickly heat. However, this is no ordinary sweat. This type has a watery consistency and is localized mainly on the skin folds. This disease is chronic, so it makes itself known again every year. It can also lead to serious pathologies such as lichen and various inflammatory diseases.

Hyperhidrosis occurs due to the fact that the process of sweating is disrupted. As a result, the sweat glands become blocked and rashes appear on the skin in the form of small red spots. These spots are a result of increased sweat production that should have been eliminated from the body. Patients suffering from hyperhidrosis notice that the rash appears more often after physical activity, heat, stress, and when staying in places with high humidity. Most often, areas of the skin that are in direct contact with each other are affected. For example, back, neck and chest. In addition, children and obese people may be predisposed to this disease. Also, men suffer more often than women - in the stronger sex, hyperhidrosis can appear in the first years of adult life.



Climatic hyperhidrosis Hyperhidrosis climatica **Climatic sweating hyperhidrosis is also known as prickle heat and ringing sweat.** This is a feeling of increased moisture and body heat that can be caused by stress, heat or exercise. Climatogenic sweating can occur in anyone, although it is more common in women. People with hyperhidrosis often have thick hair in the armpits and scalp, as well as excessive sweating in these areas.

Climatogenic sweating occurs when sweat produced in response to elevated environmental temperatures is unable to leave the body and therefore accumulates. This can lead to skin irritation, itching, rashes and redness. However, many people who suffer from climatogenic hyperhidrosis can still enjoy summer holidays in warm countries if they wear the right clothing and follow certain precautions. Causes of climatogenic sweating rash The cause of climatogenic sweating rash is a decrease in thermoregulation, which occurs due to poor nutrition and the receipt of necessary vitamins and minerals. Poor nutrition does not allow the body to produce enough sweat to cool the body. Because of this, the body begins to heat up, the body temperature rises, and itching occurs. The disease manifests itself in the form of profuse sweating of the skin. Wet areas of the skin begin to itch very much, peripheral blood vessels dilate, fingers swell, redness of the skin is visible on the stomach and back. An attack of fever often goes away with the appearance of a rash, which is accompanied by severe itching. However, under favorable circumstances, it goes away within 2-3 hours. The rash occurs on the following parts of the body: neck, abdomen, forehead, back, chest, buttocks and armpits. The disease mainly affects women during menopause, as well as women with excess weight and increased humidity of the skin during menopause.
