Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition where a person sweats more than what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This can occur in specific areas, such as the hands, feet, or underarms, or it can affect the entire body. It can be triggered by various factors, including heat, stress, or certain medical conditions. People with excessive sweating may experience discomfort and embarrassment in social situations. While it is not usually a serious health issue, it can impact quality of life. Treatments are available, including antiperspirants, medications, and procedures like botox injections or iontophoresis to help manage the symptoms.
