  • My feet sweat a lot. Is that normal or is it a problem?

    Excessive sweating is called hyperhidrosis. It can be primary or secondary. Primary hyperhydrosis is not do to any health condition or any medication. Meaning the excessive sweating is the medical condition itself. Secondary hyperhidrosis is linked to either a medical condition or a medication meaning something else is causing it.

 -Your excess sweat impairs your daily activities. -You experience at least one episode a week. -The onset of your excess sweat is earlier than age 25. -You have a positive family history. (Meaning that other members of your family suffer from similar sweating problems.) -You stop sweating when you're sleeping. If you have answered yes to at least 2 of these, it is most likely for you to have primary hyperhidrosis. READ MORE
