What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hi everyone. Since I was 5,I’ve had really bad palmer hyperhidrosis. The doctors said it would probably get better as I got older, but it seems to have gotten worse(I’m 13 now). I’m left-handed,so my handwriting already gets smudged as it is, but with the hyperhidrosis it’s just ridiculous to read what I write sometimes. My hands literally sweat out of nowhere, like right now. I’m just typing meanwhile my hands are dripping with sweat. If I hold onto a game controller(I play a lot of games XD), my hands sweat like crazy, and it’s gross and peoples’ reactions are just horrible. I’m very social and I’m always hanging out with friends but sometimes they grab my hands for whatever reason and just are like disgusted and ask something like “Ew why are your hands so sweaty?!”. I’m sick of this..is there really any way I can at least lessen the effects of palmar hyperhidrosis(besides surgery o.o)?Thanks so much everyone.(Happy New Year by the way :D)
