The type of medical procedure that you could face will depend on the type of sweating you are suffering from. The two procedures are available are

  • Sweat gland removal
  • Surgery to sever signals sent to the sweat glands

Sweat Gland Removal

Sweat gland removal is carried out to cure under arm sweating. When the glands are surgically and permanently removed some scarring can occur. However most people would prefer to live with the scars, if they know that this procedure will eliminate the problem.

Even though it may be embarrassing, once you know what causes sweaty palms and feet and excessive underarm sweating you will be able to figure out how to deal with these issues. There are however lots of solutions that could eradicate the problem for you. Look online to find out about products and procedures that you feel are best suited to you and your requirements.
