Can thiol‐disulfide balance be an indicator of oxidative stress for hyperhidrosis?

Abstract

Hyperhidrosis is a skin disease characterized by excessive sweating in order to regulate the normal body temperature. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Its incidence is not fully known, however, is estimated between 1-2.8%. 3,[7][8][9][10] It is more prevalent between the ages of 20-60 (with an average age of 25). 4,10 In the literature, there are many studies that are directed to study the treatment of the disease, but there are only a few studies that are directed to investigate the causes of the disease. 7,9,11 In our country, Karaca et al. have carried out several studies in this respect. 12,13 Hyperhidrosis can be either primary or secondary depending on the presence of an underlying disease. 1,2,4,7 Primary hyperhidrosis (PHH) is the sweating in the palmoplantar, axillary, craniofacial,
