8 Common Causes of Excessive Sweating

Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis

Primary focal hyperhidrosis is one of the most common triggers of excessive sweating. The name comes from the focal points where sweat appears naturally in the body, such as the face, palms, and underarms. The condition is typically characterized by excessive sweating on both sides of the body. Fortunately, it is not a sign of a serious disease. Scientists are still unknown why it occurs, but they find out that people with primary focal hyperhidrosis tend to have larger and more sweat glands than others. There are also some reasons that make these parts malfunction. [3]
