Case history
Case history #1
A 15-year-old boy presents with profound palmar sweating, with sweat dripping down from his hands. He says that he has had it for as long as he can remember. His feet sweat nearly as much as his hands, but this bothers him less. His sweating can occur randomly or be provoked by meeting new people, any stressful situation, or by application of hand lotion. One of his two brothers has the same problem. He avoids parties and social contact.
Case history #2
A 25-year-old woman presents with severe axillary sweating that is having a significant impact on her professional and social life. Despite her use of over-the-counter clinical strength topical antiperspirants, underarm sweat is still visible through her clothing.
