Suggest Natural Medications For Hyperhidrosis

About 4 months ago I started to develop sticky skin when wet. It is all over my body to include face, lips, hands, penis and feet. Dermatologists have diagnosed as hyperhidrosis(idiopathic). This is present 100% of the time. I also xperience excessive sweating in armpits. Skin there is extremely sticky. I am unable to bathe and dry effectively. I have explored the miradry procedure, but am very concerned with regard to side effects I read about. I should mention I had my 6th lower back surgery 9 months ago. It was a few months later this condition started to develope. Is it possible that the stress of surgery could have caused this? Are you familiar with any natural products that might help? Thanks.

As per your case history of hyperhidrosis, my treatment advice is -

2. Apply an aluminum chloride lotion daily once at night on the affected part.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like hydroxyzine once at night.
