Hyperhidrosis: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyperhidrosis/care-at-mayo-clinic/treatment/con. I thought the Mayo Clinic site provided thoughtful and comprehensive advice regarding treatments for Hyperhidrosis. Medications, surgeries are discussed. Best of luck to you and have a nice day.
