New website for people with hyperhidrosis

The UK Hyperhidrosis Support Group have launched new website thanks in part to a grant from the British Association of Dermatologists.

The group's funder, nurse Julie Halford said: 'The website has considerably more information on it than the previous one and any latest products that we have found useful for hyperhidrosis will be added sooner rather than later from now on. It also has useful video’s which may help you chose which treatment is best for you, if you have not already.'

Hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating, can be a serious and debilitating condition. It is caused when the body's sympathetic nervous system which regulates sweating is overworking.

Hyperhidrosis affects both men and women equallly although women are more likely to seek treatment.
