Excessive underarm sweating can affect a person psychologically, socially and emotionally, leading to a person developing behaviours to avoid or compensate for excessive sweating.

The symptoms are sweating that occurs despite the use of normal over the counter deoderants or the need to apply deodorant several times a day even though you are not exerting yourself or exercising. It can occur in the axilla (underarms), hands, feet and even in the groin.

Studies have shown that primary hyperhidrosis can be hereditary. It is called “primary” hyperhidrosis when there is no underlying cause.
