Treating severe excessive sweating

Sometimes the treatment you try doesn’t seem to help so you may be referred to a dermatologist that can recommend treatments such as:

Tablets to reduce sweating
Iontophoresis – a weak electric current is passed through water or on a wet page to treat the area
Botox injections for sweating under the armpits
Surgery e.g. to remove the sweat glands.

For further reading and information on treatment, you can also signpost customers to the Hyperhidrosis UK website.
