Underarm Sweating can be Treatable

Excessive sweating of the underarms is called axillary hyperhidrosis. Although neurologic, metabolic and other systemic diseases can sometimes cause excessive sweating, most cases occur in people who are otherwise healthy(primary hyperhidrosis).

Heat and emotions may trigger hyperhidrosis in some, but many who suffer from hyperhidrosis sweat nearly all the time, regardless of their mood or the weather.


Over-the-counter antiperspirants:
Home remedies like these are usually tried first because they are readily available. Antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride (for example: by Dove or Oriflame) may be more effective when other antiperspirants have failed. So-called "natural"antiperspirants are often not very helpful.

Prescription-strength antiperspirants:
These are the ones containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate.

Iontophoresis:
A device that passes direct electricity through the skin using tap water – difficult to use.

Oral medications:
From the group of medications known as anticholinergics, which reduce sweating – have uncomfortable adverse effects.


Botox (botulinum toxin):
Has been approved in the U.S. by the FDA for treating excessive axillary (underarm) sweating.

Surgery:
Cervical sympathectomy (ETS), as a last resort.
