Abstract
Abstract: Hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by an overactive cooling system that produces four to five times the normal amount of sweat, can profoundly impact a person's physical, psychological, and social well-being. It can be classified as primary or secondary, and the location and severity determine treatment options. These options include topical agents, systemic agents, and nonsurgical and surgical procedures. Nurse practitioners play a crucial role in managing this condition, and their awareness and understanding are vital in designing effective treatment options for their patients. This article aims to enhance knowledge by discussing hyperhidrosis, its impact on a patient's physical and psychological well-being, and recommended treatment modalities.
