The following is a list of tips and suggestions to help a person suffering from hyperhidrosis:

• Use armpit shields – pads worn in the armpit which protect clothing from perspiration.
• Loose clothing is best. Nylon clothing can worsen symptoms.
• Leather shoes are best for sweaty feet. Synthetic materials can worsen symptoms.
• Natural, thick socks can absorb moisture better.
• Use clinical strength antiperspirants.
• Wear cottons and other breathable fabrics.
• Keep antiperspirants with you during the day to reapply as necessary.
• Dress in layers year-round.
• Stay away from spicy foods, which can affect the amount of sweat produced.
• Purchase clothing that is made of fabric that wicks away moisture.
• Darker color clothing or clothing with patterns and prints will show less sweat.
• Bring extra shirts or sweaters with you, if needed.
• Sleep on breathable, lightweight fabrics. Choose a lighter bedspread.
• Choose absorbent sheets like plain cotton.
• Change footwear often.
• Start your day dry. Never wear clothing that has previously been soaked with sweat.
• Carry a handkerchief.
• Don’t wear hats.
