Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the body) affects about 3% of the population. It typically affects the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), feet (plantar hyperhidrosis), armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis) and face. This condition most often begins in puberty and causes discomfort that is at times similar to a disability. People affected by this condition feel powerless and often ashamed.
