Botox works well in any of those area and will block the nerve stimulation of the sweet glands. Check with your doctor. The result will last at least 3 months

A: Botox should work for excessive sweating

Steven F. Weiner, MD

The reason why Botox works for sweat glands is that it stops the transmission of acetylcholine, which is released from a nerve, to turn on the sweat gland. Sweat glands are the same all over the body, so it will work in the pubic area as well.

Yes. You could have Botox injected into the pubic area and it may be covered by your traditional insurance if your doctor does the proper homework and legwork to get it approved. Botox can be injected into almost any area for excessive sweating.
