There are four options to your condition:
-Antiperspirant: not advisable, may clog sweat ducts causing infections and inflammations. And some studies indicated that they cause cancer.
-Iontophoresis: this is done by a machine you can buy and use at home, soak hands and feet in lukewarm tap water while it is zapped with electric current every other day for 2 week this stops sweat for 6 weeks, painless only tingling.
-Botox injections in sweating areas, must be repeated every 6 month.
All the above are temporary, the only permanent cure is SURGICAL (ETS) Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (cutting the nerves that regulate sweat gland. Some say that compensatory sweating may occur after the operation which means that you may start to sweat in areas that were dry prior to the operation.

i knowsomebody with the same problem the doc said it was probably caused by stress she had botox to "clog" the glands a week later alot of improvement

nothing a dash of vinegar can't solve

Try "Certain Dry" (over the counter first). Then, if that does'nt work, see if a doctor would prescribe you "Drysol" (by prescription only). Other option is to look into anti-anxiety medication if it persists after trying many other things first! I have been there and done that too! Yer not alone! Good luck!

it could be a small seizure going on. my son in law use to get them and now on meds to stop it....

go to the doc and tell him you think you have
Hyperhydrosis- its a common problem

there is several treatments but every ones body is different

my personal suggestion is use AXE ANTI -PERSPIRENT it has 17.6% aluminum which stops sweating

the 17.6% is nearly as good as prescription anti-perspirent
