Topical Treatment

 

Aluminum chloride and tanning agents are sometimes effective in the control of localized hyperhidrosis. For most people with axillary hyperhidrosis, over the counter products are sufficient. For more severe sweating, aluminum chloride hexahydrate (20%) dissolved in anhydrous ethyl alcohol (Drysol) is frequently useful. The product should be used nightly until an effect occurs, and then the interval between applications can be lengthened.
