Excessive sweating

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. In axillary hyperhidrosis, sweating is more severe than usual in the armpits. Perspiration is one of the body's main ways of dissipating heat, but in people with hyperhidrosis the body produces far more sweat than is needed to regulate heat. Around one in 200 people suffer from hyperhidrosis, a form of excessive sweating. There are two forms of hyperhidrosis. The more common is focal hyperhidrosis, which affects the armpits, palms, soles or face. Generalised hyperhidrosis is less common and affects the whole body. It is often caused by other health problems, such as diabetes or hyperthyroidism. In these cases, if the underlying problem is treated, the sweating will go away on its own.
