Hyperhidrosis? common?

I am only 16, and i have hyperhidrosis. I have for years now. For those wondering what it is, it is excessive persperation. I have auxillary hyperhidrosis (armpit), and i am just wondering how common this is. Becuase i always feel that i am the odd one. Having this makes me unable to wear tshirts, or light colored shirts, it definatly worsens when i get nervous, or am around alot of people, and of course when it is hot. Are their others out there that understand what im going through, and have they found any options to this? Anti-persperant does absolutly nothing. And also what exactly is it classified as, like im pretty sure its not a disease, or like a disorder... ? So what is it?

Hyperhidrosis? common?
im 15, i noticed it since i was like 6. it was mainly in my hands, then it got to more places like armpits and other places.


i tried everything possible, except botox cuz i kno it sucks and its not worth it.


i did surgery a year ago, and im glad to say that it was a great success and its just wonderful living without it.


when i was little i tried making myself feel that its super powers so i thought about the goodness of it.





there are lots of people who have it.
