Hyperhidrosis remedies (for excessive sweating)?

Question

Anyone tried iontophoresis or creams and lotions to cure hyperhidrosis of palms, armpits, feet etc...?

What kind of success did you get?

There is a forum where there are people having success with some medications and iontophoresis --

However, some people still go for the surgery instead despite side effects.

Answer 1

If you have this problem, please see a dermatologist. However, I suspect you posted this as a "leading" question just to draw others to this website...maybe it is even your website.

But, for those that read this question because of the topic who are looking for help, there are prescription anti-perspirants that are very successful such as aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac).

There is also a treatment aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol). You receive two or three treatments a week for a few weeks and then only need once a week after that.

Another new treatment uses electric current to block the action of the sweat glands. It is used daily for a week and then your sweating will be relieved for a month.

Answer 2

I suffered from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Tried everything my doctor told me. My hyperhidrosis was so bad at times that I wouldn't go near crowded places, let alone sit in restaurants or go to the cinema or theater. Until I found the information on this site:

It helped me in ways that I still cannot comprehend; this is truly remarkable. It's been 7 days since I completed the basic Sweat Miracle program and my hyperhidrosis is gone without a trace.
