The Real Problem -
|
Hyperhidrosis - The Silent Handicap Needless to say, many individuals go to considerable lengths to hide their condition and avoid social interactions due to humiliation and embarrassment. For example, simply shaking hands or hugging can become awkward. Despite this, very few people reach for help thinking that nothing can be done or that treatments are not effective. In a recent clinical study***, swedish authors refer to hyperhidrosis as the "silent handicap".
"Patients with increased sweat production often suffer from enormous psychosocial stress because they are restricted in both their private and professional lives" Togel B, Greve B, Raulin C.
