    condition causing abnormally excessive sweating beyond normal thermoregulation

    Hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, is a condition characterized by abnormally increased perspiration, more than what is necessary for thermoregulation. This can affect specific areas such as the palms, soles, underarms, or face, and can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. The condition can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to other medical issues like hyperthyroidism or diabetes.
