WHAT IS HYPERHIDROSIS?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that isn’t related to exercise, heat, or anxiety. It can appear in the following areas:

• Hands (palmar).

• Armpits (axillary).

• Feet (plantar).

• Face or head (facial).

This type of sweating isn’t normal it appears spontaneously and excessively, even while at rest or in cold environments.

According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, this condition affects 5% of the global population, yet it remains widely underdiagnosed.

WHEN DOES IT OCCUR?

There are two main types:

1. Primary hyperhidrosis: Usually begins in childhood or adolescence. It has no identifiable medical cause but is linked to overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system.

2. Secondary hyperhidrosis: This is caused by another medical condition, such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, menopause, obesity, or side effects from certain medications.
