Experts may have found a way to prevent you have large sweat patches - with the use of a tiny foil deviceCredit: Getty It then temporarily disables the sweat glands, halting excessive perspiration. Sweating is completely natural as it's our body's way of cooling us down. The NHS says that excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis is common and can affect the whole body, or just certain areas. At present, remedies for this include stronger deodorants, sweat shields or foot powders for sweaty feet. Other treatments can include having botox injected into the problem areas. This works by blocking the nerve signals from the brain to the sweat glands - but these often need to be repeated on a regular basis. But the trial conducted by Candesant Biomedical found the new patches could benefit 80 per cent of people with the condition - raising hopes that excessive sweating could be banished for good. The study was a small trial of just 16 people, and 83 per cent using the patch said their sweat levels reduced to mild or not noticeable after six weeks. Writing in the journal Dermatologic Surgery, the experts detailed the use of the 'novel device'. The patches are single use and can be taken on and off when needed, they explained. They are made from metal foil which stops the eccrine glands working. Patients used the patches for three minutes and while in place, they felt a mild warming discomfort. The trial attendees that used a placebo patch saw no change in their condition. Adults who participated were monitored weekly for six weeks after their initial treatment. The researchers said: "The patch offers a novel, convenient and well-tolerated therapy for patients with axillary hyperhidrosis." Guidance from the NHS states that it's normal to sweat if you get hot or exercise. Experts explain that){kind=link}
