This study analyzed hyperhidrosis patient data, finding axillary sweating most common. Novel differences in facial and scalp hyperhidrosis presentation were observed between men and women.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Hyperhidrosis impacts about 3% of the population.
  • Patient characteristics presenting for treatment remain understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe patterns in patients referred for focal hyperhidrosis treatment.
  • To conduct a multicenter, descriptive study.

Main Methods:

  • Convenience sampling of consecutive patients considered for Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) therapy.
  • Survey of 508 patient records across Canada and the United States.

Main Results:

  • 62.8% of patients were female.
  • Axillary hyperhidrosis was the most frequent presentation (73.0%).
  • Most patients had moderate to severe hyperhidrosis (Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale scores 3 or 4).
