55 DoctorsVivaan Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Vivaan Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been an active person, but for the past two years, his life was being stolen by the night. He would wake up two or three times, drenched in sweat, his sheets and pajamas soaked through as if he'd run a marathon in his sleep. The constant fatigue was affecting his performance at his demanding job. He felt embarrassed and isolated, avoiding overnight trips with friends and feeling too exhausted for weekend activities. His primary care doctor ruled out systemic issues and referred him to a dermatologist. The dermatologist diagnosed him with severe primary nocturnal hyperhidrosis and recommended a course of treatment with prescription-strength topical antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride, to be applied at bedtime to the worst-affected areas, his chest and back. Vivaan was meticulous in following the protocol, applying the lotion to clean, dry skin. The first few nights, he experienced mild but tolerable skin irritation. Within a week, the episodes of drenching night sweats reduced dramatically. After a month, he was sleeping through the night, dry and comfortable. Emotionally, Vivaan transformed from a perpetually drained and self-conscious young man to someone who regained his energy and social confidence. The simple treatment gave him back control over his sleep and his life.
