Sweating helps regulate your body temperature. However, for people with hyperhidrosis, the nerves that control the sweat glands in your body are overstimulated, which in excessive sweating.
Hyperhidrosis can be classified as either primary or secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis often begins in or adolescence. It affects the underarms, palms, feet or face. There is no known medical cause for primary hyperhidrosis. However, it often runs in families, suggesting a genetic link.
Secondary hyperhidrosis typically starts later in life. It usually causes excessive sweating across the entire body. This form is often linked to medical conditions like diabetes or hyperthyroidism.
Living with hyperhidrosis can be a silent struggle. The condition affects more than just your skin. It can harm self-esteem, relationships and everyday life.
According to the , anxiety and depression is more common in people who have hyperhidrosis. Thankfully, effective hyperhidrosis treatments can reduce excessive sweating, letting people wear clothing styles they usually avoid and restoring their confidence in daily life.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis typically follows a approach to manage excessive sweating and improve quality of life.
Initial treatments for hyperhidrosis often involve chloride-based antiperspirants. These are applied to the skin and can help block sweat glands.
If topical are ineffective at controlling sweating, your doctor may suggest oral medications.

These injections work by blocking the nerve responsible for activating the sweat glands, thereby significantly reducing in the treated area.
During the procedure, a specially diluted form of botulinum toxin is injected just beneath the skin. The sweat glands are located within the skin itself and the cause small, visible bumps at each injection site. Over the course of a few days, sweat production from the treated glands gradually stops.
This type of underarm sweat reduction is especially during summer. It helps people wear lighter clothes without worrying about sweat stains.
