Localized hyperhidrosis

Localized hyperhidrosis is a condition where specific areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face, or underarms, sweat excessively without an obvious reason. This overactive sweating occurs because the nerves that control sweat glands in these areas send too many signals, leading to significant moisture production. It can happen unexpectedly and may cause discomfort or embarrassment. The exact cause isn't fully understood but is believed to involve overactive sweat glands or nerve signals. Treatment options include topical antiperspirants, medications, or procedures like Botox to block the overactive signals.
