Botox for Hyperhidrosis - Didn't Work for Me 3 Times. Why?

December 9, 2010
Asked By:audmcq in alexandria, va

I had my first injections about 2 yrs ago and they didn't work. I then had my second set about 5 months later and still it didn't work. I had my second set 3 days ago and I'm still sweating. I believe my first 2 injection i got a total of 24 injections and the last time I had a total of 40. What's going on? Why didn't it work? Also how I think I have a resistant bacteria under my arms because nothing gets rid of the odor and its over powering. Is there anything I can do for that?
