Abstract

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating. It can be generalized or focal. Generalized hyperhidrosis involves the entire body and is usually part of an underlying condition, most often an infectious, endocrine or neurologic disorder. Focal hyperhidrosis is idiopathic, occurring in otherwise healthy people. The condition carries a substantial psychological and social burden, since it interferes with daily activities. We treated two male patients who had hyperhidrosis on the head. In the point of Differentiation of Syndrom(辨證), these subjects were diagnosed as Bi-Wi-Gi-Her (Pi-Wei-Qi-Xu 脾胃氣虛) and was administered revised Bojungikgi-tang (reserved Buzhongyiqi-tang, 補中益氣湯加味方). All of two cases had anorexia, dyspepsia, fatigue. After treatment hyperhidosis and other symptoms improved.
