Shayesteh A, et al. - Researchers assessed if the effects of primary hyperhidrosis on quality of life were different depending on the localization of the sweating. Excluding comorbidities indicated the lowest Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) mental component summary scores for axillary, palmar, and plantar hyperhidrosis. The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) demonstrated the highest proportion of severe cases in axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis while mild cases were more often observed in plantar, facial, and other sites in primary hyperhidrosis. Thereby suggesting that depending on the manifestation of primary hyperhidrosis on the body, impairments in quality of life could be different.
