Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is characterized by abnormal sweating even during periods when one is not expected to sweat.   This medical condition can cause embarrassment, social anxiety, functional impairment, and even depression.  Treatment options range from devices (iontophoresis) to oral medications to prescription antiperspirants and/or underarm wipes.  Patients often learn to adapt by avoiding social situations or withdrawing from activities.  We have effective treatments for hyperhidrosis and encourage early intervention by a board certified dermatologist.
