If you or someone close to you is suffering from excessive sweating, chances are that they are suffering from Hyperhidrosis.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where your body’s sweat glands overact causing one to sweat excessively. The sweating can be in uncommon areas which could be a major cause of discomfort and embarrassment.

Hyperhidrosis is divided into two major categories- Focal and Generalized. Focal Hyperhidrosis is a hereditary chronic condition and usually affects only the armpits, palms, feet, and the head. Generalized Hyperhidrosis is often a result of another medical condition like diabetes or Parkinson’s. The disease as well as the medication associated with it can cause the body to sweat excessively.
