title: Hyperhidrosis: an approach to diagnosis and management.
abstract: Hyperhidrosis is defined as focal or generalized excessive sweating with a prevalence of 2.8% of the general population. This medical condition is associated with significant psychosocial morbidity and has a dramatic impact on activities of daily living. A significant proportion of patients do not consult a physician for this condition. Early diagnosis is essential in order to implement management strategies that have excellent efficacy rates and patient satisfaction.
