What are the possible complications of primary focal hyperhidrosis?
Although not a medically serious condition, excessive sweating can be distressing and embarrassing. For example, if you have bad palm sweating you tend to have a 'cold, sweaty handshake' and sweat may drip from your hands onto work documents, onto computer keyboards, etc. If you have bad armpit sweating, you may become embarrassed by the frequent 'wet-patch' that develops on clothes under your arms. You may need to change clothes during the day. You may avoid social contact or avoid doing sports because of embarrassment about the condition.
Other complications are uncommon. In some cases, the affected skin can become sore, irritated and prone to infection. There is a risk of developing eczema on affected skin.
