Conclusion

Hyperhidrosis can, and for some people, does have extreme social, emotional, and physical impacts. For others, it may affect their work habits, how they present themselves, their relationships, and their friendships. However, none of these people are alone; there are thousands of people suffering from hyperhidrosis. Unfortunately, many of them lack the knowledge that their disorder can be treated. Those that do understand often experience frustration with finding the right treatment for their particular type of hyperhidrosis. Through patience and the physician’s expertise, a good prognosis is likely and the symptoms may greatly diminish. As one who suffers from hyperhidrosis I feel that it is my responsibility to get the word out and help others who struggle with this very difficult disorder.
