Ok, just wanted to provide an update on my daughter's condition. We went to the dermatologist and she was diagnosed with Hyperhidrosis and Bromhidrosis.

Bromhidrosis is an abnormal condition in which the apocrine sweat has an unpleasant odor caused by bacterial decomposition of perspiration on the skin.

I'm looking for an answer to my dilemma. I have an AV fistula or AVM in femoral artery/vein. Probably congenital. 2 weeks ago I had 3 stents placed, but unfortunately that didn't provide lasting results.

Actually, acne and hyperhidrosis have nothing to do with each other, even if you have both. For your back acne, a dermatologist could consider oral antibiotic therapy or perhaps another course of Accutane. Botox is an excellent treatment for armpit sweating. It may also be helpful for sweating of the hands and feet, but requires blocking the nerves on the region to minimize pain, and may be associated with temporary muscle weakness. I have not heard of its use on the forehead.

I just checked the information sheet that comes with the prescription and it does not mention it being used for hyperhidrosis. I wonder if maybe if the sweating is caused by anxiety and Inderal can help with anxiety that would be a way it could help??? Just my thoughts but I really am not to sure.

For example, securing loads with straps, and wrapping up my straps after deliveries. I am always drenched and soaked after performing easy tasks. It is very noticeable and embarrassing. Comments are made by others like, "is it raining?". My medical background is as follows: 3 mgs. of xanax per day for anxiety and hydrochlorothiazide for high blood pressure. I also consume 2 drinks of alcohol per night. I am being honest.
