Understanding Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is needed to regulate body temperature. It may affect specific areas such as:
• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Palms
• Soles of the feet
• Face or scalp
Hyperhidrosis may be primary (occurring without an identifiable underlying cause) or secondary (associated with an underlying medical condition or medication).
The severity and impact of symptoms can vary between individuals. During your consultation, Dr Stephen Hadges will assess your symptoms, discuss potential contributing factors and provide individualised recommendations based on your circumstances and medical history.
