No: There is no permanent cure. Your sweat glands are genetically set to produce the amount of sweat they are producing. I don't think there has been a medication designed to control that.

Surgery or Botox: There are surgical procedures to minimize increased sweating of the palms. There can be very upsetting side effects of this neurosurgery. Currtagge (scraping) and liposuction done on the deep dermis of the underarms but no surgery for the feet. Temporary effects should first be tried: (iontophoresis), aluminum chloride, Botox injections for palms and soles and maybe soon topical "botox".

Sympathectomy: The surgery can be performed minimally invasively through the chest, called video assisted thoracic surgery or vats. It involves the cutting the nerves (sympathetic chain) that causes the excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. It is usually an outpatient procedure. There are potential complications including compensatory sweating, so talk with a board certified thoracic surgeon.
