AB  - AT-A-GLANCEPrimary  focal  (essential)  hyperhidrosis:Idiopathic  and  symmetric  and  can  affect  the  palms,  soles,  axillae,  craniofacial  region,  groin,  other  areas,  or  combination  of  body  sites.Treatment  is  based  on  severity  of  symptoms  and  location  and  follows  a  stepwise  approach.Secondary  hyperhidrosis:Can  occur  from  underlying  systemic  illnesses,  medications,  or  both  (obtaining  a  detailed  medical  history  is  crucial).The  pattern  of  sweating  is  classically  generalized,  but  sometimes  can  be  focal  or  regional  if  caused  by  neurologic  disease  or  trauma,  or  a  primary  dermatologic  cause  (eg,  eccrine  nevus).Treatment  should  target  the  underlying  disease  process  or  eliminate  or  change  medications  that  the  patient  takes,  but  this  is  often  not  feasible.Anhidrosis:Anhidrosis  may  occur  because  of  congenital  or  acquired  causes  (secondary  or  idiopathic  anhidrosis).Can  become  a  medical  emergency  leading  to  hyperthermia,  heat  stroke,  or  death.
