Hyperhidrosis does not have a universal cure, but it can often be managed effectively with the right treatment. If excessive sweating is caused by an underlying condition, treating that condition may resolve the symptoms. For primary hyperhidrosis, treatment focuses on reducing sweating and improving quality of life.
Current treatment options include prescription antiperspirants, oral medications, Botox, iontophoresis, microwave therapy, and surgery. The best choice depends on the cause, affected area, and severity of symptoms. For context on how Botox works as a medical treatment across different applications, see this overview of how Botox is used in clinical and cosmetic settings.
