AbstractHyperhidrosis is characterized by localized or general excessive sweating which is severe enough to be perceived as pathological. Since excessive sweating often starts in childhood and adolescence, usually in children between 6 and 16 years of age, hyperhidrosis is an important disorder for children and juveniles. This condition causes considerable disruption of both social life and educational career, leading to severe deterioration in the patient's quality of life. In addition, therapy is often challenging since many treatment modalities are not approved for children. Nonetheless, there are still effective therapeutic options for children with hyperhidrosis.
