Primary Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is sweating beyond what is required to control the body temperature whether at rest in cool environments or when going about daily activities.

This is the most common form of hyperhidrosis. It begins in childhood or adolescence and affects the hands and feet. Other body areas including the underarms (the axilla), face and groin can also be affected especially from adolescence onwards. For this reason, it is often called focal hyperhidrosis to distinguish it from sweating all over or generalised hyperhidrosis which is secondary.
