Clinical Advances in

Hyperhidrosis Management

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common condition that affects more people than previously reported. Approximately 15.3 million Americans suffer from this disease. The burden of hyperhidrosis on quality of life is substantial, affecting patients’ work, social, and leisure activities, as well as interpersonal relationships. Recent advances in the understanding of hyperhidrosis have led to an increased ability for earlier diagnosis of this disease, resulting in improved management and patient outcomes.
