Abstract
- Unilateral localized hyperhidrosis over scalp and face is an extremely rare disease that usually has undetermined origin. We report a case of idiopathic unilateral localized hyperhidrosis over left scalp and face. A 55-year-old female patient with unilateral hyperhidrosis that is localized in the left side of scalp and face visited our dermatology clinic. She had increased sweating in left face and scalp, recurring in summer for 3 years. She complained of the exacerbation by thermal and gustatory stimuli and exercise. The starch iodine test and digital infrared thermal imaging test revealed a marked increase in sweat gland activity on the affected areas as compared to the contralateral normal sites.
