Question : I have hyperhidrosis of the back of my head. I have not tried anything yet.
Is there any medical drug I can take for this?

Brief Answer:
No oral medicines helpful

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since you have localised hyperhidrosis,no oral medicines would be helpful in controlling the increased sweating .
A better option would be botulinum injections at the local site .
I would advise you to see a nearby dermatologist and discuss this treatment.
