Types of Hyperhidrosis

This is a more common condition compared to secondary hyperhidrosis (read below) and appears, generally on the hands, feet, armpits or a combination of those. It usually starts during childhood or adolescence and persists all your life (LIFELONG).

For hyperhidrosis victims who believe or dream that it will magically disappear when you wake up one day, Im sorry to say that it is impossible. Types of primary hyperhidrosis are palmar, plantar , facial and axillary.

Secondary hyperhidrosis (with known cause) may be part of an underlying medical condition such as:

• Hyperthyroidism
• Malignant disease
• Severe psychiatric disorders
• Obesity
• Menopause
