Axillary hyperhidrosis

Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition where the sweat glands in the underarm area produce excessive sweat beyond what is needed to regulate body temperature. This overproduction can cause discomfort, skin irritation, and social embarrassment. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but it is linked to overactive nerves that stimulate sweat glands. It often occurs independently of heat or physical activity. Treatment options include clinical-strength antiperspirants, medications, Botox injections to block sweat signals, or, in some cases, surgical procedures. Managing axillary hyperhidrosis helps improve comfort and confidence in daily life.
