Common Questions #1: Do I have hyperhidrosis or am I just sweaty?
Common Questions we hear
Understanding whether your sweating is normal or a sign of hyperhidrosis is the first step toward finding the right solution. While occasional sweating is natural, persistent excessive sweating may indicate a condition like primary or secondary hyperhidrosis.
Knowing the difference between these two types can help you determine if medical advice is necessary—and whether a long-term solution, like The Fischer iontophoresis device, could improve your quality of life.

Primary Hyperhidrosis vs. Secondary Hyperhidrosis
Primary Hyperhidrosis
- Excessive sweating without a clear cause
- Affects specific areas: palms, feet, underarms, or face
- Typically begins during adolescence or early adulthood
- Not linked to other medical conditions
- Exacerbated by stress or anxiety
Secondary Hyperhidrosis
- Triggered by medical conditions or medications
- Can affect multiple areas of the body
- May develop at any age and often starts suddenly
- Associated with issues like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or menopause
- Induced by medications like antidepressants or antipsychotics
When to Consider Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Persistent Sweating Without Cause: Primary Hyperhidrosis
If your sweating occurs without a clear cause and disrupts daily activities, it may be primary hyperhidrosis. This condition often:
- Targets localized areas like hands, feet, underarms, or face.
- Starts early in life, during adolescence or early adulthood.
- Worsens with emotional triggers, such as stress or anxiety.
Excessive Sweating as a Symptom: Secondary Hyperhidrosis
Secondary hyperhidrosis is often a symptom of underlying medical conditions, such as:
- Hyperthyroidism or diabetes.
- Menopause or infections.
- Side effects of medications, including antidepressants or blood pressure drugs.
