Treatment of inguinal hyperhidrosis with botulinum
toxin type-A.

Synopsis: Excessive sweating in the groin area can be treated with Botox injections.


Botox, otherwise known as botulinum toxin, is a toxin that is used extensively for treating wrinkles on the face. Botox works as a muscle relaxant, but it also has been found to reduce sweating. Botox is injected with a needle into the skin, so there is some pain involved in this method of treating excessive sweating. It is not a cheap excessive sweating treatment either. Treatments for excessive sweating are usually more involved than those for facial wrinkles, so they tend to be more painful to the skin and to the pocketbook as well. These authors found that injecting Botox into the groin area helped to reduce excessive sweating in a somewhat embarrassing part of the human anatomy.


Conclusion: Just how much sweating would prompt someone to receive painful and expensive injections into their groin? Probably a severe case of hyperhidrosis would merit such a treatment, but perhaps not for regular sweating, or even excessive sweatingin the groin area.
