Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating. It can affect the entire body or just certain areas, such as the hands, feet, armpits, or groin.

The exact cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, but it is thought to be related to a problem with the nervous system that controls sweating. Hyperhidrosis can also be caused by certain medications, medical conditions, or hormonal changes.

Hyperhidrosis can start at any age, but it often begins in childhood or adolescence.

There are a number of treatments available for hyperhidrosis, including topical medications, antiperspirants, iontophoresis, botox injections, and surgery.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
