What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is unusually immoderate sweating unrelated to your environment or your levels of exercise. Your body's sweat glands may overreact to some stimuli and can cause excessive sweating. Although there are many remedies and short-term solutions for Hyperhidrosis, there is not a definitive cure.

Our Story

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating mainly in the palms, feet, and armpits unrelated to the environment or exercise. Although there are some remedies and short-term solutions for Hyperhidrosis, there is no definitive cure for young children. As individuals affected with Hyperhidrosis from a young age, we understand it disrupts a child's day-to-day activities, contributes to social anxiety, and affects mental health.

Research in Hyperhidrosis is a complex issue. Hyperhidrosis only affects 1% of the world's population and isn't as large of a priority for research as other diseases.

Hyperhidrosis For Children was founded in June 2021 with the intention to create an online community to educate, encourage, and support young children and their parents diagnosed with this condition.
