  Hyperhidrosis is a disorder in which the sweat glands become overactive. The result is excessive perspiration that is not associated with exercise, temperature or any other typical triggers. […] When it comes to managing the disorder, the antiperspirant your internist recommended is a common first-line approach.

[…] Nerve impulses associated with sweating can also be muted with the use of Botox. […] Botox injections have come to be widely used in managing primary hyperhidrosis when topical treatments have failed. The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. […] According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, people who receive Botox injections have found excessive sweating decreases by more than 85%.

  Sweating is the body’s natural mechanism of releasing excessive heat and cooling the body. However, in about one percent of the population, parts of the body (such as the hands, feet, face, and armpits) sweat profusely. This condition of excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, is often brought on by stress and may be inherited. […] Since nonsurgical treatments of hyperhidrosis have only limited success, surgery is the only true cure for this condition. The surgical treatment for hyperhidrosis is a procedure called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy, sometimes called ETS. The procedure has about a 98% success rate in curing cases of overly sweaty palms, although the same procedure will treat hyperhidrosis in all areas of the body. […] The sympathectomy procedure is usually quite short. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Compensatory sweating (when other parts of the body sweat more than they normally would) is the most common side effect of the surgery, although this is usually deemed preferable to the original hyperhidrosis. After surgery to curtail hyperhidrosis, many patients also regain their confidence in socializing, shaking hands, and public speaking.
