Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
You possibly seem to have localised hyperhidrosis.

Please make sure to rule out any thyroid gland abnormality via complete thyroid check before proceeding towards Glycopyrrolate use.

so, i guess any surgery is required to block the nerves?
Brief Answer:
It is a short duration procedure, rather than a surgery.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
This is not exactly called as surgery.
It is short duration procedure under local anesthesia mostly.
This will selectively block the nerves supplying the sweat glands of the involved area.
