Background/purpose: The most commonly used method to determine the mechanical ability of skin is the creep test using suction chamber devices. Until now, there is no scientific consensus upon which skin deformation parameters and which body sites are particularly suitable to describe age‐related changes in human skin mechanics. The aim of this study was to find those mechanical skin parameters best representing influence of aging at five different body sites.

Background: Primary focal hyperhidrosis plantaris can cause impairment in social, physical, leisure and occupational activities. Topical treatment with aluminium chloride is the first‐line treatment. The aim of this trial was to evaluate efficacy and safety of two different concentrations of aluminium chloride hexa‐hydrate (12.5%, 30%) for 6 weeks.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of aluminium chloride gel for treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 20 patients aged 22-38 (mean age: 26.9+/-4.3) with idiopathic axillary hyperhidrosis were included and treated with an antiperspirant (Sweat-off, Sweat-off GmbH, Hügelsheim). Study duration was 42 days. Treatment efficacy was evaluated clinically, as well as by starch-iodine test, gravimetric analysis and evaluation of the skin surface pH. RESULTS After treatment there was a significant clinical improvement accompanied by significant qualitative and quantitative reduction of sweat as well as a significant reduction of skin surface pH. Except for slight skin irritation in 6 patients, there were no other side effects. Patient satisfaction improved markedly during the study. CONCLUSION Treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis with aluminium chloride is an effective, safe and inexpensive treatment modality.

ZusammenfassungEine konsequente Unterscheidung zwischen Deo und Antiperspirant findet im europäischen Raum kaum statt. Insbesondere in Deutschland stellt das Wort „Deo“ einen Überbegriff dar. Dabei beeinflussen ausschließlich Antiperspirantien die Aktivität der ekkrinen Schweißdrüsen. Bei der Behandlung der fokalen Hyperhidrose stehen aluminiumchloridhaltige Antiperspirantien nach wie vor an erster Stelle. Die Wirksamkeit ist in einer Vielzahl von Studien belegt. Als subjektive Nebenwirkungen können Juckreiz und – seltener – eine irritative Dermatitis auftreten, die symptomatisch behandelt werden kann und meist keinen Behandlungsabbruch erzwingt. Auch Sonderformen der fokalen Hyperhidrose wie aurikolotemporales Syndrom, Ross-Syndrom und Naevus sudoriferus sind einer Behandlung mit Aluminiumchloridlösungen zugänglich.AbstractIn Europe often no clear distinction is made between deodorant and antiperspirant. Particularly in Germany, the labeling “deo” is used for both. Only antiperspirants are capable of influencing the activity of eccrine sweat glands. In the treatment of focal hyperhidrosis, the use of aluminum chloride solutions represents the first choice. The efficacy is well documented in a variety of studies. Subjective side effects include pruritus and – less often – irritant dermatitis, which can be treated symptomatically and usually does not require discontinuation of the treatment. Rare variants of focal hyperhidrosis like auriculotemporal syndrome, Ross syndrome and nevus sudoriferus also are suitable for treatment with topical aluminum chloride hexahydrate solutions.

ZusammenfassungAntiperspirantien werden als kosmetische Mittel definiert, die die Schweißbildung durch das Beeinflussen der ekkrinen -Schweißdrüsen reduzieren 18. Daraus resultiert eine verminderte Nährstoffzufuhr für die schweißzersetzenden Hautbakterien, was wiederum eine Verminderung des Körpergeruchs bedingt 10. Daher sind Antiperspirantien gemäß der FDA auch als Deodorantien definiert. Aufgrund dieser schweißhemmenden und gleichzeitig desodorierenden Wirkung wird insbesondere in Deutschland der Begriff „Deo“ als Überbegriff verwendet.
