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.
