Axillary Hyperhidrosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Axillary hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating in the armpits that goes beyond what the body needs to regulate its temperature. It tends to be persistent and can appear even at rest or in cool environments.
How it shows up: Noticeable dampness in the armpits, frequent stains on clothing, and in some cases social discomfort or an impact on daily life.
Factors that may play a role: Stress, heat, and, in certain people, a tendency of the body itself to produce more sweat than usual.
Which specialist handles it? The evaluation can start with a professional, and when surgical options are being considered the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon steps in. If underarm sweat affects your confidence or your activities, discussing it with a specialist lets you learn about the options with reliable information.
