Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history of night sweats, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid spicy foods and excessive salty diet.
2. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Apply an aluminum chloride lotion daily once at night on excessive sweaty parts.
4. Other treatment options are oral hydroxyzine, topical antiperspirants given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
