Types Of Excessive Sweating
If you think you sweat too much, the first thing you should do is visit a specialist. The thing is that there isn’t a “tight” amount of sweat your body should be producing. Each one of us should evaluate if we are “sweating too much”. If you are, indeed sweating TOO MUCH, then have no fear. You should take into account that there are mainly two types of excess sweating.
The first type is when your body naturally want to sweat more, and the second type is due to certain types of conditions or disorders. The first condition is also known as primary hyperhidrosis and the latter condition is known as secondary hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis commonly occurs on the palms of the hand, the feet and armpits.
