Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating, beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It commonly affects areas like the hands, feet, underarms, and face. There are two types: primary hyperhidrosis, which has no known cause and usually begins in childhood or adolescence, and secondary hyperhidrosis, which is caused by an underlying medical condition or medication. Hyperhidrosis can impact daily activities and quality of life, but treatments are available to reduce excessive sweating and improve comfort – including topical and oral medications, iontophoresis and botulinum toxin (botox) injections.
