Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing discomfort, embarrassment, and social anxiety. Hyperhidrosis commonly affects areas like the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face, leading to persistent wetness and potential skin-related complications.

​

Cause of Hyperhidrosis

The exact cause of hyperhidrosis is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from overactivity of the sweat glands controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. The condition can be influenced by genetic factors, and in some cases, it may be secondary to an underlying medical condition or medication.

​

Types of Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is classified into two main types:

• Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: This is the most common form, and it usually begins during adolescence. It occurs without an underlying medical condition and is often hereditary.

• Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is due to an underlying medical condition or medication. It can develop suddenly and affect larger areas of the body.
