title: Hypohidrosis in children.
abstract: Hypohidrosis has many causes. The condition may be generalised or segmental, acute or progressive and central or peripheral in origin. Most of the causes can be diagnosed from the history and physical examination. Laboratory investigations are usually not necessary. Treatment should be directed at the underlying cause whenever possible.
