Best Treatments For Excessive Sweating / Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, goes beyond normal perspiration—causing damp clothes, skin irritation, and embarrassment even in cool temperatures or calm situations. It commonly affects the underarms, palms, soles, and face, and often interferes with daily life and confidence.
