- Title
Antiperspirants and the hyperhidrosis patient.
- Authors
Draelos, Zoe Diana
- Abstract
Hyperhidrosis is the production of excess sweat of the armpits, hands, feet, or face. The sweating can be simply unsightly or a true impairment to the optimal functioning of children and adults. This dermatologic problem can be treated with topical antiperspirants, oral medications, or by injections of botulinum toxin. This article examines the physiology of sweat reduction and the efficacy of various therapies, and presents a practical approach for the treatment of this condition.
