Help on hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)!!!?

Are there any medication (no surgery please) on hyperhidrosis. I've tried few, but without success. If available on the shelf, please advise me. I've almost given up hope as hyperhidrosis hinders my social progress.

there is a product called "Tussy" it is been around forever and there isn't alot of advertising about it but i have had a problem with sweating to the point that even my clothes were stained yellow. i started using "tussy" about 16 years ago and i have never been happier. i always thought that for such an effective product it was never given much credit but it does work!

i had hyperhidrosis since i was a little kid and i did surgery and it worked wonderfull, my suggestion would be that.


botox is terrible it costs alot and it does damage to you after awhile.


nothing really works good... i tried roll ons to stop the sweating and lots of weird things.


if you are really against surgery the only thing i can think of is take a lil towel or rag with you and use that...
Reply:The initial treatment for hyperhidrosis is usually medical and does not involve surgery. There are ointments and salves available (i.e., Drysol) that are astringents that tend to dry up the sweat glands. Another treatment is iontopheresis. This consists of a treatment of electrical stimulation, usually in the hands. Patients place their hands in a bath through which an electrical current is passed. This treatment tends to "stun" the sweat glands and can decrease the secretion of sweat for periods of 6 hours to one week. One of the most recent treatments proposed is the injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the area of excessive sweating. This is a toxin that affects nerve endings and decreases the transmission of the nerve impulses to the sweat glands thus resulting in decreased sweating. It generally requires several injections in the palms or underarms and it remains effective from one to six months. Repeated injections are nearly always required to maintain an adequate level of dryness.





In addition to the above treatments, many medicines have been utilized with varying success. These include both sedatives (in those patients with stress-induced hyperhidrosis) and medications that affect the nervous system. A family practitioner or internist often begins the initial treatment for hyperhidrosis. Cases not responding to simple treatment regimens are often then referred to a specialist such as a dermatologist or neurologist. In general, surgery is contemplated only when the less invasive medical treatments have failed to provide adequate treatment
