Suggest Treatment For Hyperhidrosis
I have horrific sweating on my head, scalp, face, and it just drips. Nothing triggers it. It can be 32 degrees, and my hair is wet, water is pouring from my scalp, and just runs down on my clothing. My shoulders and the back of my shirts are soaked. I have to carry a wash cloth or hand towel that is wet to try to wipe my face, hair and neck off. I saw a dermatologist and she told me after medication would not help that it was coming from a nerve disorder and she recommended surgery. This has been going on all my life, and instead of getting better as I get older, it is torture. I will be 68 years old this week.

As such no medication can cure this disorder. Sympathectomy (a type of nerve operation ) may be helpful. But have its own disadvantages.
