EXCESSIVE SWEATING (HYPERHIDROSIS)

Excessive sweating could be as a result of primary hyperhidrosis (with no clear underlying cause) or secondary hyperhidrosis (due to an underlying cause such as hyperthyroidism).

Sweat glands in patients with primary hyperhidrosis do not demonestrate any histopathologic changes or glandular hyperplasia (overgrowth).
