Hyperhidrosis means sweating more than the body needs for temperature control. It can affect the whole body or more localised areas, and it can interfere with clothing choices, work, social situations and confidence.
For some patients, simple measures such as stronger antiperspirants or pharmacy treatment may help. NHS guidance notes that you can also see a GP if self-care is not helping, particularly if the problem has lasted for at least six months or is affecting normal daily life
