Sweaty Palms Syndrome

Sweaty Palms Syndrome, also known as palmar hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterized by excessive sweating of the palms beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This overactive sweating can occur even when the person isn’t feeling hot or stressed, often causing discomfort and social anxiety. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to involve overactivity of nerves that trigger sweat glands. Treatment options include medications, topical agents, or procedures like nerve surgery to reduce sweating. While not harmful physically, it can significantly impact daily life and confidence.
