Excessive Sweating

Excessive Sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition in which a person’s underarms, hands, and/or feet have overactive sweat glands. Excessive Sweating can cause a person to sweat through clothing or drip off the hands, despite wearing an antiperspirant. Heavy sweating can disrupt your day and cause social anxiety.

Get The Facts

Sweating is a natural bodily function that maintains a healthy body temperature. Hyperhidrosis (HH) occurs when the secretion of sweat is much higher than necessary to keep a constant temperature. HH can affect the hands, armpits, feet, face, and trunk, or be generalized all over the body. The sweating can be induced by thermal or emotional stimuli.
