Compensatory hyperhidrosis

Introduction to compensatory hyperhidrosis Compensatory hyperhidrosis (compensatory hyperhidrosis) is due to the fact that the sweat glands in a certain part are not treated by a certain factor, and the sweat glands in the other part are compensated to maintain body temperature. Because a certain part of the sweat gland is lost due to certain factors, such as sweat gland damage, tumor, autonomic dysfunction, nervous system damage, nervous system tumors and other factors, while another part of the sweat gland is compensated, eliminating a lot of sweat In order to maintain body temperature, the body temperature is maintained at 36.5 degrees Celsius. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.006%-0.008% Susceptible people: no specific people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: folliculitis
