What the petition asks
I want the UK government to increase funding for NHS dermatology services and introduce measures to reduce waiting times for patients seeking treatment for hyperhidrosis. This could include expanding specialist services, increasing staffing, and improving access to effective treatments.
The effective treatments include treatments such as iontophoresis, medication and other clinically approved options. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that can severely impact daily life, confidence and mental health. Many patients face long NHS dermatology waiting times and limited access to effective, affordable treatment. Faster care and better funding is needed to improve outcomes and quality of life. Hyperhidrosis impacts work, education and finances. Due to daily task difficulties+more
