Think about Botox: Hyperhidrosis (or excess sweating) is more common than you'd think! antiperspirants are the simple answer, but often won't work with true hyperhidrosis. I have had success treating patients underarms, hands, feet, forehead, and scalp with botox. Botox is fda approved for sweating and is very safe and effective. Botox typically lasts for 6 months when used for excess sweating. Hope this helps!

Mention to your md: Iin the abscence of anything serious, botulinum toxin is a great solution. However, although it's not likely, there are also other conditions which might cause such a complaint. If you are having night sweats, general heat intolerance, weight loss, heart palpitations or other complaints you may have a treatable medical condition. Mention it to your pcp.

Heavy sweating: If episodes of heavy sweating are not precipitated by exericse, it is worth seeing your doctor for some testing to make sure your adrenal and thyroid glands are ok.
