Yes, but not easy...: A primary care doctor or a dermatologist can evaluate sweaty hands (called palmar hyperhidrosis). Drysol is a strong antiperspirant, and is often the first medicine tried (it's put on the hands). Other treatments can be tried also. If sweating continues to be bad, some patients decide to see a neurosurgeon about treating a nerve that "causes" the sweating.

First evaluation: If hyperhydrosis, surgery can be quite successful for appropriate candidates. While done often by experienced thoracic surgeons (vats), it is chest surgery (major surgery). There are risks and benefits. Appropriate candidates should be selected. This link may help: http://goo.Gl/rsl68 this link to consensus: http://goo.Gl/isann.
