What is it? |
Excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis is a genetic condition and is found in about 1% of the population. Hyperhidrosis usually starts during teens to early twenties and is when the body’s normal temperature regulation process goes away.
It causes excessive sweating, mostly from the underarms, hands or feet which results in moisture lying on the surface of the skin instead of evaporating as it normally would. The majority of people suffer from moderate hyperhidrosis at some point in their lives and it affects men and women, all races and every age group.
Excessive sweating can occur at any time, while you are in a cold room, while you are calm, restful and without any stress or anxiety. Most sufferers do find the problem distressing and this may worsen their condition.
