Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It can affect the hands, feet, underarms, and face, causing discomfort and social anxiety. While not dangerous, hyperhidrosis can interfere with daily activities and lead to skin irritation or infections.
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive and produce more sweat than is needed to cool the body. This can be triggered by stress, heat, or other factors. Primary hyperhidrosis has no clear underlying cause and often begins in childhood or adolescence, while secondary hyperhidrosis may be caused by medical conditions such as thyroid problems or diabetes.
