Coping and Support

Hyperhidrosis can have a significant impact on quality of life, with serious emotional, physical and social repercussions. People with hyperhidrosis may experience embarrassment, insecurity, lowered self-esteem, frustration, difficulties establishing social and intimate relationships, and decreased participation in hobbies or other activities. If you are experiencing negative emotions associated with excessive sweating, speak to your family doctor or dermatologist. Finding helpful treatments can make a big difference.
