Antiperspirants
This might be the first treatment that a dermatologist suggests. It is not expensive. When applies as directions, an antiperspirant might be beneficial. Your dermatologist might suggest a clinical strength or regular antiperspirant. Some patients require a stronger antiperspirant and get a prescription for each.
Directions to use: Apply to hands, hairline, feet, or underarms
How it works: The antiperspirant sits over your skin. as you sweat, the antiperspirant is taken out into your sweat glands. This stops the sweat glands. When the body senses that its sweat glands are stopped, this should send a signal to your body to prevent forming so much sweat.
Side effects: Where they put in the antiperspirant, some individuals develop:
- Irritated skin
- Burning sensation
If these happen, be sure to explain them to your dermatologist. Changing how you utilize the antiperspirant might lower these side effects. Some individuals are concerned that antiperspirants might lead to breast cancers. Others worry about having Alzheimer’s disease. To date, we do not have any evidence that utilizing an antiperspirant lead to Alzheimer’s disease or breast cancer.
