Description : Hyperhidrosis palmaris et plantaris (HYPRPP) is characterized by excessive perspiration
of the eccrine sweat gland in the palm, sole, and axilla. Perspiration in those affected
may be aggravated by emotional stimuli (summary by Higashimoto et al., 2006). Stolman
(1998) noted that hyperhidrosis may be complicated by skin maceration as well as secondary
microbial infections, and that treatment modalities are associated with complications.;
