Hyperhidrosis: Everyone sweats. However, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) beyond what is necessary to control body temperature can happen in about 1% of people. Palms are a very common site. There are several treatments that may help you. See a dermatologist to help you determine which is going to be best for you.
