Sweating is your body’s natural way of cooling itself down. Excessive sweating occurs when the body produces more sweat than it needs to regulate temperature or when sweating happens for no apparent reason. Excessive sweating can be embarrassing, uncomfortable, and upsetting.

Treatments available for this condition include the following.

• Prescription topical antiperspirants
• Iontophoresis (low-level electrical impulses that help to disable and to decrease sweat production)
• Oral prescription medications
• Botox injections
• Surgery (considered only as a last resort in severe cases)
