A member asked:
Hyperhidrosis experts only: when will genetic manipulation be available to treat general focal hyperhidrosis affecting many parts of the body? 5 yrs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyperhydrosis: I am not an expert but I am confident that it will take more than 5 years to know how to manage focal hyperhydrosis. Don't wait for that but see the appropriate specialist who will guide you till genetic manipulation is more carefully developed. Development of genetic manipulation is moving forward but take a look at the long list of genes and see how much research work is needed.
