What Is Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. This condition is a common disorder that can affect one specific area (focal hyperhidrosis) or the whole body (generalized hyperhidrosis). Around 7.8 million Americans have hyperhidrosis. About 4 percent of Americans suffer from this disorder in their underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis) or in their palms or soles of their feet (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis).
This condition is not life-threatening, but it can be extremely uncomfortable and cause people psychological distress. Most people who suffer from this disorder find the condition to be embarrassing as the excessive sweating can stain clothes and get in the way of business, social, and romantic situations. When a person has a severe case of hyperhidrosis, he or she can have trouble shaking hands or gripping items.
Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis can begin around age 13, while axillary hyperhidrosis is known to start around late adolescence. However, hyperhidrosis can be present from birth.
