What Is The Treatment For Excessive Armpit Sweating?

Good afternoon, I am suffering from a condition in which I tend to sweat a lot from my armpit and palms but this is something which is not common in other parts of the body and I have read a lot about this on internet and I came to know that this condition is called hyperhydrosis. Is there any cure for this condition? Thanks Satish

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of hyperhidrosis my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid eating excessive spicy foods and don't add extra salt to your diet.
2. It can be cured with proper care and treatment. Use a potassium permanganate in water in dilution of 1:10000.
3. An aluminum chloride lotion (Aldry) can be applied on armpits and palms once at night.
4. Other treatment options are oral hydroxyzine, oral oxybutinin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
