Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by profuse sweating, even when the body is at rest and cool. This condition affects both men and women and typically involves excessive hyperhidrosis in specific areas, such as the palms, face, feet, or underarms. Hyperhidrosis causes include overactive sweat glands, neurological conditions, hormonal imbalances, and genetic predisposition, leading to severe perspiration that can penetrate clothing and result in clammy hands. Individuals with generalized hyperhidrosis often experience social anxiety and emotional distress due to constant, uncontrollable sweating. 

At MCS Dermatology, Dr. Cynthia Abban provides effective hyperhidrosis treatment for excessive sweating. If you are experiencing unwanted perspiration and want to explore medical treatment options, we welcome patients from Elk Grove Village, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and Des Plaines, IL and the surrounding areas. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation.

Treatment for hyperhidrosis first involves scheduling a conversation with Dr. Abban to discuss your concerns and pinpoint the hyperhidrosis causes behind your excess perspiration in order to diagnose if you suffer from generalized hyperhidrosis or a localized form of excessive hyperhidrosis. Our office provides numerous medical treatments for hyperhidrosis so the therapy we recommend for you might differ, depending on your health needs and the location and intensity of your condition. A few of the common hyperhidrosis treatment options include prescription-strength antiperspirants, oral medications, and topical skin treatments to regulate sweat production. BOTOX® injections may also generate more dramatic outcomes by briefly pausing the overactive sweat glands from emitting perspiration. Our staff will work with you to offer the optimal option to relieve profuse sweating and help you rediscover your confidence.
