Breath of fresh air for excessive perspiration
At the UK's largest dermatology meeting doctors at the British Association of Dermatology heard about a new and easy to use cure for axillary hyperhidrosis or armpit sweating
Mr Daryll Baker from the Royal Free Hospital in London presented the results of a clinical study of a spray deodorant containing a chemical called Glycopyrrolate which is similar to anti-sea sickness tablets. After using the spray for only a couple of weeks people reported a significant improvement in their sweating.
Alternative to painful Botox
Prior to this discovery, for extreme cases of armpit sweating when other deodorants have not worked, people have had to consider botox injections into the arm pit. These are painful, often not available on the NHS and only last for a few months. Mr Baker’s study has shown that the new spray works as well as Botox injections, but without the pain. It is therefore likely that the Glycopyrolatte spray will replace Botox treatment.
