Suggest Treatment For Hyperhidrosis On Head
Question: What can I use for hyperhidrosis of my head. I can have excessive sweating at rest, in winter, in summer, at physical activity, light, moderate, any. I can drench the back of my head with sweat in minutes. It is very embarrassing and can happen at church, in the store, at meetings, etc without a moments notice.
Brief Answer:
iontophoresis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since you are having hyperhidrosis of head i would advise you to use a powerful antiperspirant.
You need to wear loose and light clothes and avoid triggers such as alcohol and spicy foods, that could make your sweating worse.
You can try treatments such as iontophoresis were the affected area is treated with a weak electric current passed through water or a wet pad.
Botulinum toxin injections and even surgery are other treatment options.
