Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) — Clinical Consultation
Private, clinician-led assessment for excessive sweating that interferes with daily life. We review patterns and triggers, screen for underlying causes, and discuss sensible options — including prescription treatments where clinically indicated.
How we help
Hyperhidrosis can affect confidence, work and social life. In consultation we map your symptoms (sites, symmetry, seasonality), screen for red flags and underlying medical causes, and outline a practical plan. Where appropriate, a clinician may discuss prescription-only options; these are not advertised and are only provided after a face-to-face assessment confirms suitability.

Common features & impact
Typical signs
Visible soaking, clammy hands/feet, frequent clothing changes; often symmetrical (both sides similarly affected).
Triggers
Heat, stress, spicy foods, exercise — but episodes may occur at rest too.
Daily life
Avoiding handshakes, device slippage, stained clothes, social anxiety — we plan to reduce this burden.
What to expect
Assessment
History, exam (sites, severity), review of medications/health; we may liaise with your GP if tests are indicated.
Plan
Evidence-informed options: lifestyle & apparel tips, topical care/antiperspirants, referral pathways, and — if appropriate — prescription treatments.
Follow-up
Optional review to check progress and refine cadence. Written aftercare where relevant.
When to see your GP first
Sudden sweating with weight loss, fever, chest pain, palpitations, tremor, or new medications may point to an underlying cause — please see your GP. For urgent symptoms, seek emergency care.
Quick self-check
Tick any that apply — useful for your consultation.
Do you offer prescription treatments?
We may discuss prescription-only options if clinically appropriate after a face-to-face assessment. These medicines are not advertised on this page.
Are there non-prescription options?
Yes — high-strength antiperspirants, clothing/fabric choices, absorbent dressings, iontophoresis (for hands/feet), and lifestyle strategies are considered.
Is there downtime?
Most people continue usual activities. If a procedure is provided, your clinician will give simple, written guidance.
Can you coordinate with my GP?
With your permission we can share a summary, request tests if indicated, and coordinate ongoing care.
