Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis Treatment Options
Craniofacial hyperhidrosis can be treated quite well with repeat Botox injections.
Although insurance carriers require a trial of anticholinergic medications (oxybutinone or glycopyrrolate), the treatment of choice is Botox injection of the hairline, forehead, scalp and neck or endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.

Controlling sweating on the scalp, face, and neck
If you are suffering from excessive sweating ("hyperhidrosis") from several locations on the body, then I would consider an oral hyperhidrosis medication such as glycopyrrolate or oxybutynin as prescribed by a dermatologist. In other cases, I will use Botox and this can also be quite helpful although more expensive.
