General Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the torso is difficult to treat with one treatment regime. It is unwise to apply one of the stronger antiperspirants over a large skin area as the bodies temperature control may be affected and the risk of skin irritancy is increased. The practical way of handling Torso Hyperhidrosis is to use a combination of treatments, however, trial and error is the only way to go. Most individuals will find the occasional use of a low dose medicine, wipe / cream along with an antiperspirant and / or Iontophoresis machine, control can be established. The Internet discussion forums are also most useful to refer to. Sadly many individuals who seek surgery to correct Hyperhidrosis in other more localised areas of their bodies finish up with Compensatory Sweating, which involves large areas of the abdomen being affected.
