Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis Treatment for Excessive Sweating – Comprehensive Dermatology Services
Advanced Medical Care for Excessive Sweating and Daily Comfort
Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterized by uncontrollable perspiration that goes beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, hands, feet, face, or other areas and often interferes with work, social interactions, clothing choices, and confidence.
At SCN Dermatology, we offer professional hyperhidrosis treatment to help patients manage excessive sweating safely and effectively. Our board-certified dermatologists provide individualized care to reduce sweat production, improve comfort, and restore quality of life.
Common Signs and Affected Areas
Hyperhidrosis symptoms may vary by patient and affected area, including:
- Excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Sweaty palms that interfere with grip or daily tasks
- Constant moisture on the soles of the feet
- Facial or scalp sweating unrelated to temperature
- Skin irritation or infections from prolonged moisture
- Sweat soaking through clothing despite minimal activity
Without treatment, symptoms often persist or worsen over time.
