Martin Mwangi will not hold his partner’s hand or have an easy time when getting finger printed. He has lived with hyperhidrosis all his life. He shares how it has affected him.

The excessive sweating used to occur in three focal areas; palms, feet and armpits, although the armpits happened later. The sweating did not happen after an activity; it would happen anytime, without any trigger.
