Abstract
-
The result of compensatory sweating after surgical treatment for essential hyperhidrosis had problems in objectivity and validity because it mainly depended on the subjective symptoms of patients. Therefore, we tried to evaluate more precisely and objectively, the distribution and degree of compensatory sweating by D.I.T.I.(Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging) with subjective symptoms.
