Excessive underarm sweating is uncontollable and annoying. Apart from the disomfort you feel with sweat trickling down and the tell-all stains, it can undermine your confidence in a big way.
Did you know that over 220 million people of the world, suffer from this and are in need of treatment? Thirty per cent of them show higher risk of developing skin infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi; 95 per cent said sweating intensified when they were anxious or stressed.
Also known as polyhydrosis or sudorrhea, this is a condition characterised by excessive sweating, that is not necessarily related to higher temperatures or exercise. One may sweat so much that it soaks through one's clothes or drips off one's hands.
Besides disrupting normal daily activities, hyperhidrosis can cause social anxiety, embarrassment and psychological trauma.
