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
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. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
