Overview
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, goes beyond normal perspiration and can affect the underarms, palms, feet, or face. It may occur without triggers (primary hyperhidrosis) or as a result of medications or underlying conditions (secondary hyperhidrosis).
Impact
Hyperhidrosis can be embarrassing and interfere with daily life—shaking hands, wearing certain clothes, or using electronics can become stressful. People with this condition often experience social anxiety, avoid public settings, and struggle with self-confidence.
Treatment options
A variety of therapies are available to control excessive sweating:
Topical Treatments
Prescription-strength antiperspirants with aluminum chloride.
Oral Medications
Anticholinergics to reduce sweat production.
Advanced Therapies
Botox injections to block sweat glands.
Referrals for iontophoresis or surgical options if needed.
Telehealth Support
Evaluation of sweat patterns and triggers.
Custom treatment planning based on location and severity.
