All skin contains sweat glands. When these glands forms an excessive amount of sweat, this is called hyperhidrosis. The skin becomes soggy, white and moist.
Excessive sweating of the hands are distressing. The patient's hands are persistently wet and so are things that they touch. This is particularly embarrassing in social circumstances when hand shaking is unavoidable.
Axillary hyperhidrosis causes the armpit area to be soaked with sweat. This often allows odour forming bacteria to thrive and causes an offensive smell.
Sweaty feet allows fungus to grow in a moist environment and therefore causes athlete's feet. This is not merely a smelly condition, but causes extreme itch to the sufferer.
