Suggest Treatment For Hyperhidrosis.

Hi, I suffer from hyperhidrosis. Due to excessive sweating, I think am losing vital vitamins and minerals. As a result, my hair has started turning grey. I am 26 years old. Premature graying is not genetic in my family. I have normal thyroid lvels and am not diabetic. Pls advice on whether I should take vitamin B and C supplements. Thank you.

Hello
Yes , you can take Vitamin C and B complex without any side effects.
Now question of treatment of hyperhidrosis .
Topical antiperspirants are occasionally helpful.
More useful are potent ANTICHOLINERGIC drugs such as glycopyrrolate, 1-2 mg thrice in a day .
Still no relief and you feel social embarrassing get in T2 ganglionectomy or symphathectomy as it is effective in more than 90 % cases.
So consult a neurologist ( spine surgeon ) and get his help but this is last option.
Good luck.
