Stopping Excessive Sweating

If your excessive sweating is consistent, and it happens regardless of your activity level, the temperature or the product you’re using, it’s possible that you could have hyperhidrosis. People with hyperhidrosis suffer from extremely sweaty hands, feet and underarms due to overstimulation of the sweat glands, Garza explains.

If you have do have the condition, your doctor can work with you to investigate treatment options. Drysol, an aluminum-chloride and ethyl-alcohol solution, is available by prescription. It’s usually applied at night and washed off in the morning, and should be used until the sweating is under control. Botox, the popular injectable wrinkle remedy, also can be used to control sweating; injected into the skin, it temporarily paralyzes the sweat glands in the treated area. The procedure is done in a doctor’s office and needs to be repeated only once or twice yearly–at a cost of about $600-$700 per treatment.
