Control Excess Sweat With Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Queens
Hyperhidrosis
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a sweating disorder that causes you to sweat more than most people. The excessive sweating might not be linked with exercise or heat. Sweating can be so excessive that it drips off of your hands and soaks through your clothes.
Heavy sweating can affect your social life and cause general embarrassment. Fortunately, treatment helps you sweat less during normal everyday activities.
