Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that is not related to heat or exercise. It most commonly affects the palms, feet, armpits, and face but can occur in other areas as well. This excessive sweating can severely disrupt daily activities, cause social anxiety, and lead to skin irritation or infections due to moisture buildup. The treatment involves injecting medication that blocks the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands, significantly reducing the amount of sweat produced.
