Find experienced MD: In a city, there is usually a doctor who has an interest in, and many patients with, excessively sweaty armpits, hands, and feet. The specialist can try various treatments with a patient to see what works best. Drysol (strong antiperspirant), beta-blocker medications, Botox injections, and galvanic stimulation (electricity) are some options. More recent in the news is microwave armpit treatments.

I have hyperhidrosis and wanted to know more about adding prescription antiperspirant into water trays of iontophoresis because read this would help sweat glands absorb antiperspirant to stop sweating better. Tried each separately and still sweat?
