Excessive Sweating

In hyperhidrosis, your body’s sweat glands over react. This overactivity causes you to sweat a lot. In some people hyperhidrosis is localized to hands and feet, underarms and head, and in some its generalized.

Make an appointment to see a dermatologist if you :

Find sweating disrupts your daily routine
Embarrassing sweat stains on your clothes
Suddenly notice your sweating getting worse

Is there a cure?

There is no cure for focal hyperhidrosis. Treatments focus on reducing your symptoms and improving your quality of life.

Treatments include

Antiperspirants work by sealing up sweat glands
Oral medications

when the above don’t work its time to try the relatively time tested treatment botulinum toxin injection to block the overactive sweat glands.
