Abstract
Hyperhidrosis is the excess production of abnormal quantities of normal sweat. It affects up to 5% of the population. A careful history confirms the diagnosis and determines the sites affected and the physical and psychological severity of the problem. Armed with this, appropriate treatment can be initiated. It is usual to progress along the “hyperhidrosis treatment ladder” gradually increasing the degree of intervention. Long term follow up and adapting management is needed.
