Work can be stressful enough without having to worry about visible sweat patches, damp handshakes, or constant trips to the bathroom to freshen up. For people living with hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive sweating, the workplace can be one of the toughest environments to navigate. From big presentations to day-to-day meetings, sweat can quickly become a source of anxiety and distraction.Β
The good news? There are practical ways to manage hyperhidrosis at work so you can feel more comfortable, confident, and in control.Β

Choose breathable fabrics and protect your clothesΒ
The clothes you wear can make a huge difference. Natural, lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, and moisture-wicking blends help your skin breathe and keep you cooler throughout the day.Β
