Let’s Talk About It: Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month
Sweating is normal. But for over 365 million people worldwide, excessive sweating — known as hyperhidrosis — isn’t just inconvenient. It can impact mental health, relationships, and confidence. And yet, it’s often misunderstood or left untreated.
Hyperhidrosis causes people to sweat more than necessary — even in cool temperatures or without physical activity. It can affect the underarms, hands, feet, groin, back, or face, and can be primary (no clear cause) or secondary (linked to medical conditions or medications). [1]
November marks Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month, an important reminder that:
- Excessive sweating is a recognised medical condition
- Many Australians live with it silently
- Online support groups and education are available:
What can help?
