Update on pediatric hyperhidrosis
Abstract
Hyperhidrosis is a common and under-recognized disease in the pediatric population that has a significant impact on quality of life. Focal and generalized forms of hyperhidrosis exist, which can be idiopathic or secondary to underlying medical conditions or medications. Treatment is tailored to the specific patient needs, characteristics and goals. These include topical preparations, iontophoresis, botulinum toxin and anticholinergic medications.
Keywords: aluminum chloride; botulinum toxin; glycopyrrolate; hyperhidrosis; iontophoresis; sweating.
