Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis

Craniofacial hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating localized to the face and scalp, beyond what is needed to regulate temperature, and it can appear even without heat or exertion.

Common symptoms: heavy sweating on the forehead, face, and head, sometimes triggered by stressful situations or foods, with a social and emotional impact.

When should you see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when sweating interferes with daily life, work, or relationships, or when it causes constant discomfort.

Which specialist treats it? In cases where approaches directed at the nerve supply to the sweat glands are considered, professionals such as the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon are involved, along with other specialists depending on the plan. If facial sweating affects you significantly, the most useful thing is to discuss it with a professional to learn about the options.
