Traditional therapies include: antiperspirants (applied on top of skin) surgical removal of sweat glands severing the sympathetic nerves linked to the sweat glands (sympathectomy) blocking the sweat glands with small galvanic electric currents (iontophoresis). Although effective for most people, removal of sweat glands can lead to scarring in the underarms and other complications. Similarly, sympathectomy, which also is quite effective, carries the risk of unintended surgical side effects and rebound sweating in previously unaffected areas (compensatory hyperhidrosis).
