Constantly wet hands, sweat stains on clothes, unpleasant odor, and ongoing discomfort — these are classic signs of hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. This is not just a personal trait — it’s a medical condition that can be treated.

Causes of Hyperhidrosis:

• Genetic predisposition

• Stress and emotional tension

• Hormonal imbalances (puberty, menopause, thyroid issues)

• Nervous system disorders

• Side effects of certain medications

Common types:

• Palmar hyperhidrosis – sweaty hands, difficulty with handshakes and writing

• Axillary hyperhidrosis – sweat marks under the arms, odor

• Plantar hyperhidrosis – sweaty feet, discomfort, risk of fungal infections

• Generalized hyperhidrosis – affects the whole body

Why does it matter?

🔹 People avoid handshakes
🔹 Only wear dark or loose clothes
🔹 Feel embarrassed in public
🔹 Skin irritation, fungal infections may develop
