For underarms. The only solutions I've been given by my dermatologist are botox ($2,000 a shot, it requires 15-20 shots. Two underarms. Nice.) and a liquid applied at night called Drysol. It can be very irritating and barely helps. Does anyone have any other ideas? I've had this problems for 3 years and I don't think I can stand it any longer :[ !!
Does anyone have any "cures" or helpful ideas for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
There are oral medications for this condition. One is called Ditropan. You can also have surgery for it. These are facts. Your derm is a quack. I recommend seeing your regular doc and asking for a referral to someone who can correctly assess and treat your condition.
As far as temporary solutions, talc and baby powder have been found to be somewhat effective. Good luck-I;m sure this has to be so debilitating to you.
Reply:I got tired of the pastey crap on all my shirts so I stopped wearing deoderant. I clean the pits with isopropyl in the morning and again in the after noon is I start getting rank. With showering in the mornign and when I get home from work My sweat is alot less. I also noticed that a constant room temp at my comfort level helps tremendously.
Reply:Are you taking any other medications, other than Drysol or Botox? Either over-the-counter or prescription? I have similar problems with my antidepressants, but the benefits outweigh the side effects.

Reply:I would get a second opinion as the amount seems excessive.
