X-Posted - Help for excess sweating under arms

[Slabobbin]

I told my best friend that I would post and ask this for him. He is considering Botox injections and I hate to see him go down an "un-natural road", lol.

He sweats profusively under his arms. He has even used pads under there to try to catch it. It is very embarrassing for him. He knows to wear cotton shirts, etc. But are there any other remedies that could help to control this? It really bothers him and makes him self concious.

Has he looked at treatment options other than botox? Has he read up on the conditions?

Here are a few good top lines:

I have a friend that always had sweaty hands, like nothing I have ever seen before, constantly dripping wet hands.

He had surgery, says it's the best thing he has ever done in his life. He lives in IN but traveled to CA for the surgery.

I'm sure he hasn't researched it...that's what he thinks *I* am for.

Thank you for the links!

Does he use anti-perspirant? I used to have a sweating problem that went away after I stopped using it.
