What hope is there for people suffering from hyperhidrosis?
There are several options available for treating this condition. Conservative methods such as lotions, pills, or electric instruments (Iontophoresis machines) do not show good long-term results. Sympathectomy at present is the only known long-term cure for palmar hyperhidrosis. So far genetic manipulation will be the best option to treat excessive hand sweating. At present it is only a futuristic possibility but as genome project is slowly advancing we hope that in the future a genetic solution will be found.
