It is natural to sweat more when you exercise, are in a warm environment, or are emotionally stressed.Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which the body creates more perspiration than is necessary. It typically affects the underarms, hands, and feet. Although you are probably aware of the condition if you have it, indications of hyperhidrosis include:

- Getting sopping wet from mild physical activity
- Avoiding light colored clothing
- Keeping a clean shirt in your car or office

Good News About Hyperhidrosis
Usually harmless – People with hyperhidrosis may sweat up to 14 liters per day, so you should drink extra water to stay hydrated. Otherwise, true hyperhidrosis is generally not a physical health threat. However, it can be a sign of an underlying serious medical condition, so it is important to have a qualified physician evaluate the root cause.Very treatable – Dr. Amanda Lloyd tailors treatment to your unique situation. Your customized sweat reduction plan may include topical treatments, oral anticholinergics, iontophoresis, Botox injections, or surgery.
Treatment is safe – Your body contains about three million sweat glands. Treatments that eliminate problematic, overactive sweat glands are not harmful to your overall physiology. The goal is simply to reduce perspiration to normal levels.
