Treatable- see Dr: See a Dr. They can perform tests including iodine-starch test, skin conductance and a thermoregulatory sweat test to determine the patterns and type of sweat disorder. Treatment includes prescription antiperspirants, creams containing glycopyrrolate, nerve blocking meds, antidepressants, and astringents containing tannic acid. Surgical treatments are also available for extreme cases.
