Condition

Hyperhidrosis & Bromhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what your body needs for temperature control. It commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, and face, and can interfere with daily comfort, confidence, and social interactions. Some people experience symptoms constantly, while others notice flare-ups during stress, heat, or certain activities.

Bromhidrosis refers to excessive body odor caused by the interaction between sweat and skin bacteria. While sweating itself is odorless, bacteria on the skin can break it down and create a noticeable odor that may persist even with regular hygiene. Hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis can occur separately or together, and both are very treatable with the right approach.

At wellwell, we focus on identifying the type, severity, and underlying contributors to your symptoms before creating a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your needs, treatment may include prescription-strength topicals, lifestyle guidance, oral medications, or neurotoxin therapy to help reduce excessive sweating and improve overall quality of life.
