WHO WE ARE

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.

ABOUT US

Hyperhidrosis for Children Inc. was founded by Aakash Reddy, a student at UC Berkeley. When Aakash was diagnosed with Hyperhidrosis, there was no online community where he could connect and learn from others of his age. He derived it as an inspiration and founded this non-profit to create awareness and support so that children and families could learn and understand more about the disease, symptoms, and treatments.
