I think I'm suffering from hyperhidrosis. What do I do? Can it be cured?

Thank you for your question about hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating.  I'm sorry you are suffering from Anxiety with Panic Attacks & Social Nervousness.First and foremost, it is going to be important for you to get appropriately treated for any existing Anxiety Disorder that you may have.  Controlling anxiety just might make the sweating go away.Next, if excessive sweating persists, then hyperhidrosis treatment options include:Topical medications and/o antiperspirants to mask the symptomsBotox Cosmetic which lasts for months and needs repeated (injections)INFINI which uses radiofrequency to reduce sweat gland densityMiraDry which uses microwaves to reduce sweat gland densityUltherapy which uses ultrasound to reduce sweat gland densityETS surgery, Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy SurgeryI hope this information gives you a basis to further research and learn more.To determine what might best suit your needs, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have hyperhidrosis treatment for excessive sweating.I hope this helps.Best Wishes & Good Luck!

Hyperhydrosis is a often a chronic medical condition without a cure. However, there's hope because the symptoms can often be controlled rather well with appropriate treatments.
Medications can help, but have side effects. I suggest getting different treatments for different parts of the body. 

You can consider Botox for the hands, feet, groin and head. You can also consider MiraDry for the underarms. These are non-surgical procedures done in the office without the risks of surgery.
If your underarms are contributing then consider MiraDry. Dysport/Botox is not permanent, but MiraDry is permanent reduction of sweat for the underarms. 
Botox can be used in other places as well.
Good luck! 

Hyperhidrosis and anxiety can sometimes occur together.  A great first step is to seek help for your anxiety.   Assistance in your anxiety may be enough to help alleviate some of your symptoms.  If the symptoms persist, consider the use of medical grade antiperspirants with more invasive treatments being used as a last resort.

Once your anxiety is treated, focused treatment for hyperhidrosis can be initiated as there are many options depending on the location(s) for the excessive sweat.H Karamanoukian MD FACS

Good morning!

Have you found anything that helps your excess sweating since your initial post? If not, I recommend looking into miraDry for sweating in the armpits. We have had success treating a wide range of patients who struggle with this complaint. miraDry is a nice option, since it is permanent, unlike some other therapies which must be repeated on a continuing basis. miraDry has immediate results and has relatively short down-time. You can expect bruising, swelling and mild-moderate skin discomfort/soreness for the first few days after the procedure. Our patients have been very thankful for this technology, which has helped them with a lifelong problem.  

That is a great question.  I have had great success treating many patients who suffer from hyperhidrosis of the axilla (under arms), the hands, or the soles of the feet with Botox.  Many patients find the axilla to be nearly a painless procedure, however the pain does seem to increase for the hands, and increase further for the feet.  The results will last for about a year and will be covered by some insurance companies.

You didn't mention where the problem is. If in the underarm, Botox, Dysport, Miradry, and Infini can help. The later 2 will give permanent relief. On the hands and feet, only the first 2 can be done.
