What is hyperhidrosis and how is it treated?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably — people with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. Botox® is frequently used to treat it: for underarm sweating it shuts off the nerve signals to the sweat glands, reducing the amount of sweat and the odour produced by the treated area, with most patients getting relief for around six months before another treatment is needed.
