Hypohidrosis
Hypohidrosis Causes
It is most commonly focal and caused by local skin injury (like trauma, radiation, infection or inflammation) or by atrophy of glands from connective tissue disease (such as in scleroderma, SLE, Sj?gren's syndrome). Hypohidrosis may be brought about by drugs, especially those with anticholinergic properties. It is also the result of diabetic neuropathy and a variety of congenital syndromes. Heatstroke causes insufficient sweating but is a CNS rather than a skin disorder
Hypohidrosis Definition
Hypohidrosis is subnormal sweating, less sweating than usual. Hidrosis means sweating, so hypohidrosis is literally undersweating.
Hypohidrosis Diagnosis
Diagnosis is by clinical observation of decreased sweating or by heat intolerance.
Hypohidrosis Symptoms and Signs
An uncommon presentation is fever of unknown origin.
Hypohidrosis Treatment
Treatment is by cooling measures, such as air-conditioning and wet garments.
