My Wife Has Hyperhidrosis?
I had this, I had surgery to cut the sweat glands. It is an long healing process, but very worth it! I went through Kaiser Permanente here in California. You have to find the right doctor that knows and will perform the surgery. Women cannot get the sweat glands for their feet cut so I still have very sweaty feet, but my hands and face do not anymore. Better than nothing, best thing I have ever done in my life. Good luck!!!

Reply:She can get botox injections at the sites where she sweats the most. I think it works by numbing the sweat glands so they don't produce sweat. See a dermatologist about it. That's probably what they'll recommend. And don't worry. It's more common than you think, so don't feel ashamed or embarassed.
Reply:After watching Mystery Diagnosis I can believe almost anything. I would research out the Disease and educate yourself on treatments and what it is...it sounds like you have done this part.





So the next part is to find a good Doctor who listens well. It looks like it is classified as a skin problem so you may be looking for a good dermatologist. Or you could just relate the symptoms to your PCP and see if they can recommend a good specialist.
