“The causes of primary hyperdrosis generally occur in the palms, soles of the feet and sometimes the face. Meanwhile, secondary hyperhidrosis occurs in almost all parts of the body. Therefore, for people who do not understand medically, you should not worry. If you experience the same thing, immediately contact an expert. , “he said.
