What is the relation between Raynauds phenomenon and hyperhidrosis?
A lot of patients who suffer from excessive hand and foot sweating (palmar and plantar) are sometimes mistakenly labeled as suffering from Raynauds syndrome. Basically patients with palmar or plantar hyperhidrosis may have clammy and discolored fingers and toes because of their hyperhidrosis and not because they suffer from Raynauds disease. This can leads to unnecessary treatments such as medications which do not serve any benefit to the patient.
