hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, underarms, and face. Hyperhidrosis can significantly impact a person's daily life and self-esteem.
