Will Botox help with armpit sweat caused by anxiety or excitement?

Courageous378113
Hello, I suffer from excessive sweating in the armpits caused by nervousness or excitement. For example, I sweat when I play chess because of the tension and "pressure". Also, I sweat because of fear of sweating, which you might call a vicious cycle. I have read that stress can reduce the effectiveness, and I even wonder if I could still play chess after the treatment, for example, or if it would damage the Botox and neutralize the effect.
