Medical
Dermatology - Excessive
Sweating
People with excessive sweating
(hyperhidrosis) sweat
profusely, and some sweat
almost constantly. Although
people with a fever or those
exposed to very warm
environments sweat, people with
excessive sweating tend to
sweat even without these
circumstances. Excessive
sweating may affect the entire
surface of the skin, but often
it is limited to the palms of
the hands, soles of the feet,
armpits, or genital area.
Usually, no specific cause is
found. However, a number of
disorders can cause excessive
sweating. Excessive sweating
can be controlled to some
degree with commercial
antiperspirants. However,
stronger treatment is often
needed, especially for the
palms, soles, armpits, or
genital area.
Severe, chronic wetness can
make the affected area white,
wrinkled, and cracked.
Sometimes the area becomes red
and inflamed. The area may emit
a foul odor (bromhidrosis) due
to the breakdown of sweat by
bacteria and yeasts that
normally live on the skin.
Clothing may also become soaked
with sweat.
When excessive underarm
sweating gets in the way of
your daily activities and
antiperspirants haven’t worked,
you may be a candidate for
BOTOX® treatment.
