Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, involves overactive sweat glands that produce sweat beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It commonly affects the palms, soles, underarms, and face, and can interfere with daily activities and emotional well-being.

Hyperhidrosis may be primary (without a known cause) or secondary to an underlying condition such as thyroid dysfunction or menopause. It often begins in adolescence and can persist into adulthood, leading to social embarrassment, discomfort, and challenges in personal and professional interactions.
