Brief Answer:
You can try prescription antiperspirant with aluminum chloride
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You are having a condition called focal hyperhiderosis.
It is quite common among females nearing menopause due to changing hormone levels. Other causes like hyperthyroidism can also cause similar symptoms.
You can try antiperspirant with aluminum chloride ( it is a prescription drug and not available over the counter). Drysol and XeracAC are popular brands.
In severe cases Botox injection can also be tried. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.

Brief Answer:
Botox will get rid of the smell also.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Miradry is usually used in the underarms. It is recommended for groin hyperhiderosis. It is not available in UK also.
Botox injections will block the nerves that stimulate your sweat glands and get rid of the smell as well.
