Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating. The sweating is more than what your body needs to regulate temperature and can happen even when you are not hot or physically active.
It most often affects the underarms, hands, feet, or face. For many people, it interferes with work, social situations, and clothing choices.
Over-the-counter products are often not enough to control symptoms.
Some people develop excessive sweating without a clear medical cause. This is known as primary hyperhidrosis and usually affects specific areas such as the underarms, palms, soles, or face.
In other cases, sweating may be related to medications or underlying medical conditions. This is known as secondary hyperhidrosis and may affect larger areas of the body.
Understanding your pattern of symptoms helps determine the right treatment approach.
Excessive sweating can impact:
When sweating begins to affect daily activities, medical treatment may be considered.
Botox injections reduce sweat production by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Treatment is commonly used for the underarms, hands, feet, or face. Results typically develop over several days and may last for several months.
miraDry is a non-surgical treatment used for underarm sweating. It reduces sweat glands in the underarm area and is designed specifically for axillary hyperhidrosis.
In severe cases that do not respond to other treatments, surgical options may be discussed.
If excessive sweating is affecting your daily life, treatment options are available.
