Hyperhidrosis / Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what the body needs for cooling, most often affecting the underarms, palms, soles, and scalp. It can interfere with work, clothing, and social comfort.

Treatment begins with prescription-strength antiperspirants and topical medication, and may progress to oral medication or botulinum toxin injections, which can reduce sweating for several months at a time.
