What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a dysfunction of the sudomotor center, the center in the brain that controls the body temperature, which promotes excessive stimuli to sweat glands in specific areas, independent of physiological necessity. The cause is unknown. Hyperhidrosis can occur in any part, but the hands, the feet, the underarms, and the face, in isolation or in combination, are the most affected areas.
