Excessive Sweating:
As with all human conditions, there is a wide
range of "normal" with some people hardly sweating at all, whilst others
sweat to a much larger extent.
Most normal or heavy sweating can be controlled with shop bought anti-perspirants
or aluminium chloride.
When the amount of sweating is excessive and cannot be controlled by these
measures it is termed "hyperhidrosis".
Although some people have hyperhidrosis as a consequence of another
illness, in many others it is merely due to overactive sweat glands or
over-activity of the sympathetic nervous system.
The rest of this web site is dedicated to
explaining hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) the areas it occurs in, and
the treatments that are available to treat it.
