Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating is instead defined as any amount of sweating that causes problems or distress. The exact causes aren't known, but from 1% to 3% of people suffer from hyperhidrosis. See your dermatologist for treatment: Glycopyrrolate 3%, Botox, Sweat Block which is OTC, Iontophoresis, land Drysol
