Treatment available: If high potency antiperspirants don't help, see your dermatologist as other, more aggressive, therapies and treatments are available. Make sure it's not due to an underlying medical disorder.

Hyperhidrosis: Granted no medical problems causing your excessive sweating, you might have idiopathic hyperhidrosis. Treatment options include: antiperspirant, anticholinergic meds, Botox injections (very effective) and surgery for the appropriate candidates.
