Excessive Sweating in the Younger Population:

Excessive hand sweating or palmar hyperhidrosis can appear at a very young age. Children as young as 6 or 7 can have problems with excessive hand sweating which is often poorly understood by their teachers and schoolmates. Obviously this can very stressful and create a lot of functional and social problems. The surgical solution should not be applied at a very young age. I believe that children suffering from hyperhidrosis should be supported by their families and try any conservative measures available.

A surgical approach should be reserved for only the severe cases once the child enters maturity. This should be determined with your doctor. The decision about performing sympathectomy in the younger age groups should not be done on an emotional basis. The decision should only be made after careful consideration.
