What treatment options are available for hyperhidrosis?
Your treatment will depend on what kind of hyperhidrosis you have and where on your body it most affects you. You may be able to manage the condition yourself by reducing your stress levels, avoiding certain foods, and using skin products that help absorb excess sweat, and antiperspirants which you can use on your hands, feet, armpits, and hairline.
Iontophoresis involves immersing affected parts of your body in warm water, while a mild electric current interrupts the sweating process. Other treatments include Botox™ injections to the sweat glands, prescription medicine, and in some cases, surgery to remove sweat glands.
