Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Normally the body produces sweat to regulate body temperature. Sometimes, the nerves that control the sweat glands become overactive and excess sweat is produced. Usually this has a significant impact on self-confidence and quality of life.
Dr. Jane will offer both a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of your excessive sweaty problem. She will discuss all treatment options available, many of which you have likely already tried with unsatisfactory effectiveness such as lotions, prescription pills, even surgery.
