How is Hyperhidrosis Diagnosed?
Hyperhidrosis is diagnosed using sweat measurement tests and lab screenings to identify whether it’s primary or caused by an underlying condition.
Diagnostic Tests for Hyperhidrosis:
- Starch-Iodine Test: Iodine is applied to the skin and dusted with starch; sweaty areas turn dark blue, confirming excessive sweating zones.
- Paper Test (Gravimetric Test): A special absorbent paper is placed on the skin to soak up sweat and then weighed to quantify moisture levels.
Additional Evaluations:
- Blood and urine tests to detect underlying conditions (e.g., thyroid, diabetes, infections)
- A detailed medical history and symptom review by a dermatologist
