What can I do to control excessive sweating?

Jennifer Linder, M.D. / Frequently Asked Questions - Injecta...
When antiperspirants fail, try prescription Drysol (20% Aluminum Chloride). If this is unsuccessful, the next step is Botox®. Botox® decreases and often eliminates sweating under the arms as well as on the palms and soles. It is injected into the skin with a very tiny needle, thereby blocking sweat production. Typically, there is little discomfort and you can resume normal activities immediately. On average the results last 6 to 9 months, but may last up to a year.
