Asked By:London9490 in New London, CT

I have used anti cholinergic creams which are quite good but applying them every night gets tiresome. My nose bothers me the most, as you can imagine it is very noticable. Is it possible to permenantly remove/destroy the sweat glands? If not, what are the semi permanent solutions please? Thank you
