Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr. kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
For hyperhidrosis you may try taking a tablet of glycopyrrolate 1mg, twice daily. It is a prescription medication. The dose may be titrated upwards depending on the response. However prior to that I would like to rule out any secondary causes like thyroid, anxiety disorder etc
