Sweaty armpit, Armpit sweating & Axillary hyperhidrosis, armpit sweating

Armpit sweating or as its known as axillary sweating is another form of excessive sweating. It can be associated with palmar hyperhidrosis in about 40% of the cases or it can be presented on its own. The armpit area has two types of sweat glands, eccrine and apocrine glands. The eccrine glands will be affected by sympathectomy and not so for the apocrine glands. For those patients who have the armpit sweating together with the hand sweating sympathectomy will help in about 75 to 80% of the cases. For those who suffer from only armpit sweating Superficial Liposuction is a surgical option with a higher success rate.

Many patients state that after sympathectomy a regular deoderant is enough to control their axillary sweating whereas before the operation it did not help.

For those who suffer specifically from excessive armpit sweating there is a surgical cure (Superficial Liposuction) that is 95% effective. For more information visit this armpit sweating site.
