Hyperhydrosis: Treatment Options.

Zhou Y.

There have been major improvements in the treatment of excessive production of sweat (hyperhydrosis) because of the introduction of effective botulinum toxin therapy. The three major types of hyperhidrosis - facial, axillary, and palmoplantar - are discussed, along with the treatment options available for each and how the introduction of botulinum toxin therapy has changed the optimum treatment choices now available. Surgical options for both axillary and palmoplantar hyperhidrosis are reserved as the last options when all other treatments fail.
