What Is Excessive Sweating?

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a condition where the sweat glands become overactive, producing more perspiration than necessary for body temperature control. It can affect people of any age and may be localized to areas like the underarms, hands, feet, or face—known as primary hyperhidrosis—or result from an underlying medical condition, referred to as secondary hyperhidrosis. Beyond the physical discomfort, excessive sweating can cause emotional strain and interfere with social interactions and professional life. Managing this condition effectively is essential for improving comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life.
