Suggest Remedy For Excessive Sweating Above Upper Lip

Hi, I have been taking roacutane for approximately 12 weeks and in the last couple of weeks I have noticed excessive sweating above my upper lip. It is a big problem and happens instantly with or without make up. Please can you tell me what might be causing this, whether or not the problem can go away following the completion of my roacutane course and what if anything I can do now to help.Thanks

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have excessive sweating above upper lip and you are on roacutane course . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like genetically , diabetes , central nervous system injury , obesity and thyroid disorder . As far as roacutane is concern , you can apply this cream at night instead of day time . I would suggest you to consullt dermatologits for prope examination . Doctor may ask you to avoid trigger like food and beverages , may prescribe topical agents like Drysol and Odaban or may recommend endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy .
