Hyperhidrosis
(Excessive sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is defined as excessive sweating and can affect the axilla (armpits), palms, and soles. Often, patients complain that their hands and feet are always moist or that they sweat more than average in their axilla, with regular anti-perspirants not helping. Primary hyperhidrosis means that there is not an underlying condition causing the excessive sweating. Treatments for primary hyperhidrosis varies and can include topical medication, iontophoresis, and Botox® injections.
