Introduction

Do you avoid shaking hands with others because of excessive sweating or sweaty palms? Are you embarrassed to meet new people because of excessive sweating? Do you sweat during your sleep, when you are alone, or even when you are
not upset?

Do you no longer or have become hesitant to actively participate in school activities because of excessive sweating? Do you break out in a sweat without warning? Has excessive sweating caused problems with your job? Are your armpits always wet? Do you avoid certain types of clothes because
of sweating?

If you answered yes, to any of the above questions, you may be suffering from palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of sweaty hands) or axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the armpits).
