Topical Treatments
Topical therapy for focal hyperhidrosis, or antiperspirant
treatment, can be carried out with chemicals of several different
classes—astringent agents, topical anticholinergics,
local anesthetics, and aluminum and other metallic salt solutions.[58]

and odor, but patients with moderate-to-severe hyperhidrosis
need stronger therapy.[58]
Prescription products as well as specially compounded solutions
are often needed for these patients,[145]
