Diagnosis required by a licensed medical professional

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is more than just an inconvenience; it's a condition that can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort and social anxiety. This condition can be either primary, with no identifiable cause but often triggered by factors like stress or heat, or secondary, stemming from an underlying health issue or medication. Primary Hyperhidrosis typically affects the palms, feet, and underarms, starting in adolescence and can persist throughout life. The exact cause remains unclear, though it's thought to involve overactivity in the sweat glands. 

Treatment options for Hyperhidrosis range from topical solutions and wipes to oral medications that reduce sweat production across the body. For more persistent cases, we offer botulinum toxin injections to temporarily block sweat production in targeted areas. Effectively managing Hyperhidrosis can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.  Whether you're navigating primary Hyperhidrosis or... More

signs + symptoms of hyperhidrosis

Early identification and management of Hyperhidrosis are crucial for improving quality of life and reducing the social and emotional impact of this condition. At Revelus Dermatology, we are committed to offering comprehensive information and treatment options for Hyperhidrosis to aid in effective management.

key characteristics:

  • Appearance: Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond the body’s normal need for thermoregulation. It is visible through wet clothing, damp skin, and in severe cases, may lead to visible droplets of sweat. 
  • Location: Hyperhidrosis commonly affects the palms, soles, and underarms. However, it can also involve the face, scalp, and other areas. Primary Hyperhidrosis tends to be localized to these specific areas, while secondary Hyperhidrosis may be more generalized. 
  • Sensation: The primary experience associated with Hyperhidrosis is excessive wetness and discomfort in the affected areas. While it does not typically involve pain, the condition can cause significant emotional distress, social withdrawal, and embarrassment. 
  • Evolution: Hyperhidrosis can begin at any age but often starts in adolescence. Its severity can vary day to day, influenced by stress, temperature, and other factors. Without treatment, Hyperhidrosis can persist indefinitely, but with proper management, individuals can see significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life.
