What Is Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition where the sweat glands become overactive, producing more perspiration than necessary for temperature regulation. It can affect people of all ages and typically appears in localized areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face—referred to as primary hyperhidrosis. In other cases, it may be linked to an underlying medical issue, known as secondary hyperhidrosis. Beyond physical discomfort, this condition can lead to emotional stress and challenges in social or professional settings, highlighting the importance of effective treatment for improving quality of life.
