Has anyone done this? Ive had this problem since my teens. All bloodwork and thyroid are all normal but i sweat alot, not fripping but enough that i only wear dark tops or tanks to avoid sweat marks. Drives me crazy and i hate it.
Ive heard botox can help? Anyone have experience in this arena? Im 5'3 & 100lbs and exercise regularly so Im healthy but i guess some people just sweat more? Its definitely related to being nervous... Not very helpful on interviews!! |

There is also a newer procedure using a laser, e.g.,

| Not to discourage you, but it can be incredibly difficult to get insurance to pay for Botox even for hyperhydrosis. If you do it, be prepared to pay for it out of pocket. |

Agree. I do know a plastic surgeon who performed the botox on his daughter on her armpits (this was when it was relatively unheard of). Post back if you want his name. I've not had it done (I think it would hurt something awful).
