Abstract: Excessive sweating is a socially embarrassing disorder, and its treatment options are receiving widespread attention. In order of frequency, palm-sole, palm-axilla, isolated axilla, and craniofacial hyperhidrosis are different disorders of sweat regulation. A common association between these disorders is an excessive non-thermoregulatory sweating response to emotional stimuli in areas of the body affected by the anterior cingulate cortex, thermoregulatory regulated by the anterior hypothalamus. This is in contrast to the sweating reaction of. Diagnosis of these mechanically ambiguous disorders is based primarily on medical history and physical examination, but the results of laboratory tests using indicator powder reveal the distribution and severity of resting hyperhidrosis.
