Hyperhidrosis
Hi. I suffer from excessive sweating
of the palms, feet and armpits. This has been occurring since early childhood. I have recently begun looking for a cure. I
Have tried lotions such as Aldry, as well as chemicals such as a 2% formaldehyde solution. I have also tried homeopathy and have now begun with Ayurvedic medicine. So far I have found no relief. Could anyone please provide a solution ?

Greetings. For Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis - There may be no permanent one time cure. Your treatment options include - application of lotions that reduce sweating; tablets, skin patches to reduce sweating, iontophoresis - destroying sweat glands using low voltage current or reducing sweating with Botox injections. See a dermatologist near you and discuss the treatment options with him. Warm regards
