Hyperhydrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating. Excessive sweating happens when a person sweats more than is necessary. Sweating helps to cool the body from overheating. The nervous system automatically triggers the sweat gland to when the body temperature rises.
Primary hyperhydrosis is caused by faulty nerve signals that triggers the sweat glands to be overactive. It usually affects one or a few areas of the body, like palms, soles, and underarms. It may cause itching, inflammation, body odour and this may affect one’s self esteem.
Secondary hyperhydrosis means that the excessive sweating is caused by a medical condition such as diabetes, obesity, gout, overactive thyroid or side effect of taking a medicine or food supplement.
