Primary focal hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating in specific areas like the hands, feet, armpits, and face, without an apparent cause. This localized sweating often begins in childhood or adolescence, affecting social, professional, and personal aspects of an individual’s life. Although non-life-threatening, it can be emotionally and psychologically taxing. Treatment options such as antiperspirants, iontophoresis, Botox injections, and surgery are available to manage and significantly alleviate symptoms, improving the quality of life.

Unlike its primary counterpart, SGH typically starts in adulthood and causes sweating on larger or the entire body. Common triggers include diabetes, thyroid issues, or certain medications. It’s vital to address the underlying cause to manage SGH effectively. Treatments may include medication adjustments or addressing the medical condition causing excessive sweating. A healthcare provider can offer a proper diagnosis and suggest a personalized treatment plan to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

It’s not merely a cosmetic concern but a health one, with treatments ranging from antiperspirants, iontophoresis, Botox injections to surgical options.

Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis (PFH) is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating localized to certain areas like the hands, feet, armpits, and face. It is generally symmetric, meaning it affects both sides of the body equally.
Common symptoms include:
Excessive sweating without apparent causes
Sweating interfering with daily activities
Clammy or wet palms and soles
Frequent skin irritation or infections due to moisture
The exact cause of Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis is unknown, but it is believed to be related to overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. It’s not typically associated with underlying medical conditions and may have a genetic predisposition as it often runs in families.
While PFH may not be entirely preventable, certain measures can help manage symptoms:
Using strong antiperspirants
Wearing breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics
Keeping affected areas clean and dry
Avoiding triggers like spicy foods and caffeine which may worsen sweating
Various treatments can effectively manage PFH, including:
Topical Treatments: Prescription-strength antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride.
Iontophoresis: A device to pass a mild electrical current through the skin.
Botox Injections: Temporarily block the nerves triggering sweat.
Microwave Therapy: Destroying sweat glands via microwave energy.
Surgical Options: Such as sweat gland removal or sympathectomy to cut or clamp the spinal nerves controlling sweating.
