Options: There are several different treatment options for adults. Options are a little bit more limited in children, however there still are a few. Would suggest starting by talking to primary doctor and getting referral to dermatologist who specializes in nonsurgical treatment of this condition. Good luck!

Hyperhidrosis: An alternative to surgery is the use of botox, which is very effective and can last as long as 1 year.
