What is Hyperhidrosis?

Sweating is a normal body function that helps control temperature. Sweat evaporates from the skin and cools the body. Heat and emotion will make most people sweat. Hyperhidrosis is too much sweating. It is more than what is needed to control body temperature. Hyperhidrosis is a common skin problem. Five percent (5%) or more of all people may suffer from it. Hyperhidrosis can affect people of any age, however it usually starts before the age of 25. If you believe you have hyperhidrosis and are interested in learning more about treatment, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with with one of our expert dermatology providers at your earliest convenience.

What Causes Hyperhidrosis?

In most cases, we do not know exactly what causes hyperhidrosis. We do know the sweat glands and nerves play a major role. Nerves send signals to the sweat glands that cause them to make sweat. Excessive sweating without a known cause is considered primary focal hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis is the most common type of hyperhidrosis and it may run in families. In some cases, an underlying medical condition or medication causes hyperhidrosis, and this is considered secondary hyperhidrosis.
