A member asked:
Can an endocrinologist cure my excess sweating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer

If the sweating is idiopathic (idiopathic hyperhidrosis), then you can only control it with: prescription antiperspirants/lotions, anti cholinergic medications, iontophoresis (electric current), botox, lastly surgery...
