What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition involving excessive sweating of the hands, face underarms and feet. Hyperhidrosis is very common, and occurs about 1% of the population. The control is by the sympathetic nervous system. In the case of Hyperhidrosis, the sympathetic nerves are unpredictable and completely uncontrollable.

The condition is extremely frustrating for those who have it. It can generate enormous anxiety, self-esteem problems and will compromise social and professional activities. People who have Hyperhidrosis often find their condition intolerable and have a reduced quality of life because of their symptoms.
