Hyperhidrosis on my Lower Back and Buttocks?

This type of excess sweating affecting the lower back and buttocks is truly underreported.  We have seen several patients with this localized type of hyperhidrosis.  Most of our patients will get temporary relief with Botox injections.    A starch iodine test can demonstrate the affected areas well and helps to map out the areas that will truly respond to Botox injections.  I hope this is helpful.Steven Greene, MD,   Advanced Dermatology and Laser Institute of Seattle

I have treated hundreds of people with hyperhidrosis, and the most common areas treated are: armpits, hands, then feet. I also have treated the scalp, face, groin, and pretty much any other area on the body all with excellent results. Botox stops communication between nerves and sweat glands, and so it works everywhere that it is injected. While Botox works great, in some people who sweat in multiple locations, oral therapy with oxybutynin or glycopyrrolate should be considered by your dermatologist. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
