Excessive Sweating

• Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: A genetic condition that usually begins in childhood or adolescence, affecting specific areas such as the palms, soles, underarms, and face.
• Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating caused by an underlying medical condition or medication, often affecting larger areas of the body.

• Excessive sweating that disrupts daily activities
• Sweating even when the body is at rest
• Visible dampness on clothing, hands, or feet
• Skin irritation or infections due to moisture buildup

• Overactive sweat glands (Primary Hyperhidrosis)
• Underlying conditions such as diabetes, infections, thyroid disorders, or menopause (Secondary Hyperhidrosis)
• Certain medications- antidepressants, hormonal medications, NSAIDs, antipsychotics, ADHD medications, albuterol

Dr. Newsome offers a variety of treatment options tailored to your needs, including:

Non-Invasive Treatments:

Prescription Antiperspirants: Stronger than over-the-counter options to reduce excessive sweating

Medications: Oral and topical anti-cholinergic medications can help block sweat gland stimulation.

Non-medicine therapy:

Iontophoresis: A water-based therapy that reduces excessive sweating in the hands and feet.

There are other treatment options available such as neurotoxin (Botox), Miradry, and surgery for severe/advanced cases. Dr. Newsome does not offer these treatments and would be happy to refer to other physicians if desired.
