Excessive sweating is a medical condition known as hyperhidrosis. Sweating is necessary as it cools the body, which prevents us from overheating. Individuals with hyperhidrosis, however, sweat without natural triggers- when the body does not need cooling.

Hyperhidrosis may cause the body to sweat all over or in one or two isolated areas, leaving other parts of the body dry. It can interfere with regular activities such as holding a pen, walking, or turning doorknobs.
Dr. Myers may recommend a clinical-strength antiperspirant. Prescription antiperspirant can sometimes be enough to ease the symptoms of this condition.
Botox is also used to prevent excessive sweating. Among the other treatment options are prescription medication.
