Described are alternative diagnostic tools and associated methods having adequate performance from only brief contact with the skin to be tested for diagnosing or detecting hyperhidrosis, or other abnormal sweating condition, and/or monitoring a reduction in sweat production using a moisture-responsive film (MRF), that comprises a complexing substrate containing a complexing material that forms a visualizable complex in the presence of iodine and water, and an iodine layer applied to the complexing substrate to form the moisture-responsive film. |
