Axillary Hyperhidrosis

 

Axillary hyperhidrosis is the most common form of focal hyperhidrosis. The condition is characterised by excessive sweating of the armpits. Unlike normal sweating, the sweating that characterises hyperhidrosis does not occur in response to heat stimuli. More than half of all individuals with focal hyperhidrosis (which may also affect the hands, feet or face) experience excessive armpit sweating.
