What condition is characterized by excessive sweating?

Hypohidrosis
Bromhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis
Anhidrosis

The correct answer is: Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is the condition characterized by excessive sweating. This can occur in specific areas of the body, such as the palms, feet, underarms, or face, and may also affect the entire body. The condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, underlying health issues, or even stress and anxiety. Understanding hyperhidrosis is important for estheticians, as clients may seek treatments to address this issue, which can affect their comfort and confidence levels. Recognizing signs of excessive sweating can lead to appropriate interventions or referrals for treatments that help manage the symptoms. In contrast, hypohidrosis refers to reduced sweating, bromhidrosis pertains to unpleasant body odor caused by bacterial breakdown of sweat, and anhidrosis is the lack of sweating altogether. Each of these conditions reflects a different aspect of sweat production and its effects on the body.
