HYPERHIDROSIS

Hyperhidrosis is a chronic disorder of excessive sweating that can affect any body part, including the underarms, the palms, the soles of the feet, and the face... Contrary to what many believe, excessive sweating is treatable.

Traditional therapies include: antiperspirants (applied on top of skin) surgical removal of sweat glands severing the sympathetic nerves linked to the sweat glands (sympathectomy) blocking the sweat glands with small galvanic electric currents (iontophoresis). Although effective for most people, removal of sweat glands can lead to scarring in the underarms and other complications. Similarly, sympathectomy, which also is quite effective, carries the risk of unintended surgical side effects and rebound sweating in previously unaffected areas (compensatory hyperhidrosis).
