What Causes Excessive Sweating In The Arms And Under Arms?
Hi, I was suffering from excessive sweating in my hands and underarms with bad smell. I did “cutting the sympathic nurves surgery” to stop the sweating. Now the sweat is gone in these two areas but I have an alternative sweating all over my body, with strong body odor. I’v Tried everything and nothing seems to work. Please help me!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to general hyperhidrosis.
-Make sure you are using an antiperspirant rather than a deodorant. Antiperspirants can reduce sweat.
-Oral Medications. Drugs known as anticholinergics stop sweating as a side effect.You should consult with your doctor about this treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
