How Can Hyperhidrosis Be Treated?

Hi, I, 22, have been suffering from Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweat in palm and sole) for a long time, had been using keep dry cream for a while before it was discontinued, thereafter I tried commercial formolin but due to its unavailability in our locality I had no choice rather than abandoning. the most important thing here is none of the above gave me a good result. Please save me from this embarrassing lifelong disease.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
As a first line management you can take antiperspirants like aluminum chloride (Popular brands are drysol and , Xerac Ac). In severe cases antiperspirants does not give good results and you may require botulinum injection.
You can consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
