Why, concerning axillary hyperhidrosis, are the results worse than in the case of palmar hyperhidrosis?
Like mentioned in the section “Causes and symptoms of excessive sweat”, unlike the palmar region where we have only eccrine glands, in the axillary region, in addition to the eccrine glands, controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, through acetylcholine, in the case of the axilla there are two other categories of sweat glands (apocrine and apoeccrine) controled by the sympathetic nervous system but through adrenaline and noradrenaline – chemical mediators that we also find in blood flow secreted by the adrenal medulla in conditions of stress/emotions. This gland is found together with the adrenal cortex in the abdomen, above the kidney and is not influenced in any way by the thoracic sympathectomy procedure.
