How Can Excessive Sweating Be Treated?
I am 69 years old - have worked hard most of my life, live in Arizona and now whenever I walk or work around the house I start sweating a lot. This has never been my history before. This Is suppose to be free - or at least that is the way it is advertised!

Also calamine lotion can also be used due to its drying effect.Iontophoresis is another treatment option. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
