What is palm hyperhidrosis ?
Palm hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating of the palms of the hands. The condition often begins in adolescence. It is both socially and psychologically disabling and can cause professional discomfort. Patients may find they need to wipe their hands before even picking up a pen, may find it uncomfortable to perform manual labor, or may even refrain from shaking hands when greeting others. 

Where does palm hyperhidrosis come from ?
Palm hyperhidrosis is created by an imbalance in the sympathetic autonomic nervous system charged with regulating sweat gland activity.
