00:00 And we're back here in Pinoy, Andy.
00:02 And of course, we have Dr. Jean with us to answer
00:04 the few more questions you sent us.
00:09 Our next question, Doc, from Marilyn A.
00:12 What is the solution for sweaty hands?
00:16 Mmm.
00:17 Alright, Marlyn, sweaty hands are also called hyperhidrosis.
00:21 Why do you sweat so much?
00:25 Usually, it could be genetic.
00:27 Or sometimes, anxiety could be one.
00:31 Or you could also have hyperthyroidism, Marlyn.
00:35 Because we also want to know,
00:38 maybe later, when we treat those underlying problems,
00:43 you don't need to undergo treatments for hyperhidrosis.
00:47 But, it could also be at the same time.
00:49 While treating the underlying,
00:51 you're also treating the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.
00:54 Well, usually, we can use a handkerchief to control the sweating.
00:59 We can use a handkerchief.
01:00 Antiperspirants, right?
01:03 You can't just put it on your armpits, Marlyn.
01:06 You can also put it on your palms.
01:09 Or even on your feet.
01:11 So, our advice is to put it at night
01:14 for those who wake up early.
01:16 That's when the antiperspirant effect is already there.
01:21 And also on your feet.
01:22 You can also put it on your feet if you're sweating.
01:25 And of course, there's also what's called Botox.
01:29 So, we inject those Botox here on our palms
01:34 to control the sweating.
01:36 And lastly, Doctor,
01:38 she's been experiencing skin whitening for 31 years
01:41 on different parts of her body,
01:43 including her hair.
01:45 What's the reason, Doctor?
01:47 That question is from Emmanuel Espeño.
01:50 In your story, although I can't see you,
01:54 that could be what's called vitiligo.
01:56 If you have white patches on your skin or body,
02:04 together with white hairs, that's probably vitiligo.
02:08 What happens when a person has vitiligo,
02:10 their immune system attacks the pigment cells.
02:14 Pigment cells not only in the skin,
02:17 but also in the hair.
02:19 It could be still other conditions.
02:21 It could be albinism if it's been there for a long time,
02:25 since you were a child.
02:26 But just the same, Marlon,
02:28 it's better to go to a dermatologist
02:31 to get a check-up, an examination,
02:34 to ask about your history,
02:36 and to get a timely treatment.
02:38 And there you have it, Kapuso!
02:40 Next week, we'll read more questions for your health
02:44 that you sent us on our Facebook page.
