What Treatments Are Available for Hyperhidrosis of the Scalp?

July 15, 2012

I have excessive sweating on my scalp, in a zone that starts about an inch above each ear and wraps all the way around the back of my head. BELOW this line (not above), my hair gets soaking, wringing wet with perspiration whenever I'm outside on a hot day, or if I start to heat up from exercise or exertion. What treatments are available for this? Is there anything I can do on my own? If I decide to seek medical help, what kind of doctor should I see? A dermatologist?
