Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sweating And Trench Foot

Hi Doctor, I suffer with excessive sweating, both in the armpits and the feet. The feet have become a major problem as I suffer from trench foot as a result of the excessive moisture. Would cutting the sympathetic nerve to my feet help? And is it a safe procedure ?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for your question. Usually excessive sweating is a harmless less condition. Are you suffering from diabetes or thyroid problems? Are you overweight? These conditions are associated with excessive sweating.

From your history it is evident that you have excessive sweating in only certain parts of the body like arm pit and in the feet. This is just a localised sweating and is not harmful.

If it's just a localised sweating then sympathetic nerve dissection will definitely help in reducing your sweating problems. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
