What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a common condition that causes excessive sweating in the palms, underarms, feet, and sometimes other parts of the body. This condition commonly causes excess sweating to occur without the need for high temperatures, heavy clothing, or excess humidity. Instead, hyperhidrosis may cause sweating when there are no specific triggers at all. While a large portion of the population suffers from hyperhidrosis, only a small amount of people are aware it’s a condition that can be treated by a skilled dermatologist like Dr. Siddiqui.
