Palmar hyperhidrosis is what it sounds like - sweating of the hands. However you may also sweat in other areas of the body such as on the face, legs and underarm. Palmar hyperhidrosis is a physical condition that is caused by overactive sweat glands. People that suffer from excessive sweating find it a very embarrassing and anxiety-ridden condition.
Many people that suffer from this condition go to great lengths to avoid contact with other people - so much that they hide their hands in their pockets or behind their backs and often become frustrated and withdrawn from people.
The good news is that you don't have to live in fear for the rest of your life, there are treatments that you can have that cure palmar hyperhidrosis.
To treat the sweaty palms, apply Drysol to sweaty areas at night and wash off in the morning. It is important to treat the condition with a mild treatment such as Drysol and if the condition doesn't improve try other more severe methods. Drysol is an antiperspirant that contains the active ingredient aluminum chloride hexahydrate and it is sometimes effective in treating palmar hyperhidrosis at mild levels.
Tap water Iontophoresis is another method that you could use to treat palmar hyperhidrosis if it is mild or at its early stages. You put your hands in an electrolyte solution where a very mild electrical current passes; this treatment has been effective for people who suffer from mild palmar hyperhidrosis and it is probably worth your while to try it out and see if it makes any difference to your excessive sweating problem.
