Question for Dr Nase: ets, hyperhidrosis and rosacea

[lisa]

HI Dr Nase,

I would be very interested in your opinion on this matter. I have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of hands and feet), which I've managed to live with for years. I also experience facial blushing, but to a number of triggers - not just social events (e.g. heat, sleeping).

In my case, do you think ets would be a good idea (I know you don't recommend it as the norm)? And is there a link between hyperhidrosis and rosacea / facial blushing?

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

There is a link between the two in many cases. I would never recommend ETS for anyone without having tried everything else twice first and waiting five years. It is way to over commercialized now.

lisa im the same. I sweat so so much all over and have blushing and facial
,neck,chest,back flushing. Whats strange is that it appears in some situations, my body makes a decision to sweat or flush, it appears rarely that they happen together. however once strong sweating has gone, theres almost a rebound flush
