Catherine E Scarff. Aust Fam Physician. 2009 Sep.
Abstract
Background: Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis, with or without offensive odour (bromhidrosis), can have a devastating effect on a patient's life. The condition usually begins in childhood or adolescence and can impact greatly on education, career choices and social development.
Objective: This article describes the presentation, investigation and management options for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis.
Discussion: Clinical history and examination is often sufficient to make a diagnosis of palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. Fortunately, there are successful treatments available that can provide relief of symptoms.
