Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

The body has two types of sweat glands: ordinary sweat glands and sexual sweat glands.

Ordinary sweat glands are found in the skin all over the body. Their functions include eliminating toxins and moisturizing the skin. Excessive sweating most often appears as sweating of the hands and feet, and it increases during emotional states such as excitement.

Sexual sweat glands are found mostly in the armpits and genital area. Sometimes sweating also causes odor, and then it becomes a social problem. It can cause some psychological problems for the person. Sometimes sweating can also stain clothing.

With appropriate treatments and procedures, excessive sweating no longer has to be a problem.
