Today's Close-Up
Japan's scorching summers are difficult for everyone, but they are even more grueling for people suffering from sweat-related medical conditions. About one in ten people have a form of hyperhidrosis, a disorder that causes excessive sweating. Some say the condition makes it difficult for them to go outside during the summer. Another disorder causes strong body odor. People who suffer from it worry about offending others and societal expectations about cleanliness and personal hygiene add to this anxiety. We ask people who suffer from sweat-related conditions about the challenges they face. We also look at the latest research and treatment options.<br><br>Guests: Fujimoto Tomoko (Dermatologist)<br>Togo Etsuko (Professor, School of Child Psychology, Tokyo Future University)
