Pedal Hyperhidrosis Treatment

One of the biggest problems of people suffering from excessive foot sweating (also known as pedal hyperhidrosis) is the odor that results from this condition.

Whenever someone suffering from excessive foot sweating is in a situation to take off their shoes their stress levels rise and they further accentuate the problem.

This gives the impression of walking in constantly moist shoes and it ultimately generates stress and anxiety.
