Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating. This condition usually begins in childhood or during teenage years. It most commonly affects the palms, soles, and armpits, but can affect other parts of the body as well, like the face, scalp, chest, and back.
What causes hyperhidrosis?
In most cases, there is no trigger for hyperhidrosis. However, speak to your doctor about potential diseases, metabolic disorders, febrile illnesses, or medications that might lead to excessive sweating.
There are treatment options available to those who suffer from excess sweating, including:
- Prescription antiperspirants
- Anticholinergicpills
- Iontophoresis
- BOTOX® injections
- Surgery
- miraDry®
