Can this botox procedure be done for the boils? My primary doc said my sweat glands need to b removed. The boils has caused disfiguring under my arm pits and I would like for them to be smooth again. Can this be done?

Answer: Boils under the arms I agree with the other doctors that your what you have described sounds like an infection in the sweat glands called Hidradenitis Suppuritiva. This should be treated by antibiotics and perhaps surgical removal or drainage of the boils.When there is no infection in the area, Botox can be a big help in reducing the amount of perspiration and sweating. And the good news is that usually injections in this area are only minimally painful.Botox can also decrease excessive sweating in other areas such as the palm of the hands though this tends to be more uncomfortable than under the arms.

Answer: Botox and boils Botox affects only those things that are mediated by a certain chemical (acetylcholine) like muscles and certain areas of sweating and will not help any type of infection
