Understanding Excess Sweating
Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition that causes the sweat glands to overproduce, even when the body isn’t overheated or exercising. Localized hyperhidrosis affects specific areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face, or occur more generally across the body.
Hyperhidrosis can be frustrating and embarrassing, impacting clothing choices, daily comfort, and social confidence. While antiperspirants may offer mild relief, most people with true localized hyperhidrosis require medical intervention for lasting results.
