Excessive sweating treatments, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a common condition that affects hundreds of people across the United States. There are two types of hyperhidrosis, primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis is a genetic condition caused by faulty nerve signals that trigger sweat glands in the feet, hands, underarms, and face. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition or triggered by certain medications. Hyperhidrosis can be controlled with certain medications, treatment therapies, and even surgery in severe cases.
