There are three different types of Hyperhidrosis and whilst they all cause excessive sweating they can appear in different parts of the body. [popover id=ref3]
Primary focal hyperhidrosis: This doesn’t have any underlying causes and often occurs in children or young adults. It’s most likely to affect areas of the body such as the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, face, scalp, and groin.
Secondary focal hyperhidrosis: This form of hyperhidrosis often occurs as a result of another underlying health condition, such as heart problems, a stroke or perhaps after some form of infection. It’ll often only affect specific areas of the body, such as the ones outlined above but can occur anywhere.
Generalised hyperhidrosis: This form of the condition affects the entire body and will often also have an underlying cause, such as a long-standing illness.
