Brief Answer: Details below Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for the follow up and sorry for delay in reply. You can apply aluminium hydoxide lotion. It is available as ALDRY lotion. If anti prespirant are not giving you relief, go for iontophoresis. It is process in which electric current is used to close sweat pores. Please meet a dermatologist. This procedure is done twice a week, and gives good results. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
