How to treat excessive sweating at my palms?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Sweaty palms can indeed be frustrating as it can interfere with daily activities.

There are a few treatment options. The simplest method is to use anti-pespirants containing aluminium salts.

Another option is iontophoreresis. This involves soaking the hands in water or a solution containing glycopyrolate snd running a current through it. This treament has to be repeat weekly.

Botulinium toxin injections is another option and this can keep the hands dry for up to 6 months.

Another option is surgery. This is the most permanent solution but does have surgical risks.

You can discuss these options further with your dermatologist.
