Specializes in Endocrinology

Hyperhidrosis: Granted no medical problems causing the excessive sweating, the fall back diagnosis is idiopathic hyperhidrosis. Treatment options include: antiperspirant, anticholinergic meds, Botox injections (very effective) and surgery for the appropriate candidates. See doc to rule out secondary causes first.
