Hyperhidrosis

For some, sweating is a normal response to temperature or physical activity. But for those with hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating happens even when the body doesn’t need to cool down. Whether it affects the hands, feet, underarms, or other areas, this condition can disrupt daily life, cause discomfort, and impact confidence. At Embrace Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists provide targeted treatments to help manage hyperhidrosis and restore comfort.

Cause

What Causes Hyperhidrosis?

Identifying the type of hyperhidrosis helps determine the most effective treatment plan.

Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive, producing more sweat than necessary.

There are two main types:

01.

Primary Hyperhidrosis

A condition where excessive sweating happens without an underlying medical cause, often starting in childhood or adolescence.

02.

Secondary Hyperhidrosis

Sweating triggered by an underlying condition such as hormonal imbalances, infections, or certain medications.
