Hello, I am in my mid 30s who has had to deal with axillary hyperhidrosis my whole life. It didn’t matter if I was 65kgs or 48kgs I still struggle with it. In high school my dermatologist prescribed some antiperspirant all I remember is it burnt my armpits so bad! I am reduced to wearing white clothes or oversized clothes with panty liners to avoid the embarrassing sweat patch. From what I have read, Botox lasts 4-18months. I would like something permanent. Can I have the suction done?

Dear bestie80 congratulations on your pregnancy.
The effect of Botox on the development of babies is currently unknown, so the application of the neurotoxin is not recommended during pregnancy.
Two months is pretty short duration of action for axillary botox, but not unheard of. There's also a chance the injector just missed a spot where sweat glands were located.
Well it is very rare to have skin lumps after Botox for hyperhidrosis armpit.
And need to assess whether it is inflammatory or non inflammation type. Advice to have examination done by the same doctor whom should able to diagnose the possible causes
