When I was in elementary school, my mom noticed that my underarm sweating was excessive regardless of the temperature outside or my activity level so she took me to a doctor to be evaluated. There, we learned my excessive underarm sweating was more than just an inconvenience, it was a real medical condition called primary axillary hyperhidrosis.1 We also learned hyperhidrosis can affect many different parts of the body.1

We worked together with my doctor to proactively find ways to manage my condition. I am so grateful for their support then – and now!
