excessive sweating

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, occurs when the sweat glands produce more sweat than needed for body temperature regulation. It often affects specific areas like the hands, feet, face, or underarms, but can be more widespread. This condition happens due to overactive sweat glands, which may be linked to nerve signals malfunction or other underlying factors. While it can be inconvenient or embarrassing, hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that is treatable with methods ranging from medications and topical treatments to procedures like sweat gland removal or nerve blocks.
