Dear Dr Sharma,
Last year I was diagnosed with a spinal nerve sheath tumour. Several drugs were tried to help with the pain. I’m now on Tapentadol and Tramadol. Unfortunately I have developed secondary hyperhydrosis- thought to be due to medication rather than the tumour, but no one is 100% sure. I’m taking oxybutanine to try to relieve the sweating. It did initially work quite quickly, but now it has returned with a vengeance. I have severe episodes of generalised sweating throughout the day and the night. Is there anything you can recommend to help me? I really don’t like taking a drug to help symptoms caused by another drug.
I am 35 year old. I have excessive sweating problem in my palms and soles since child hood.I have taken R32 homeo pathic medicine for this purpose but no effect.
Plesae suggest me what should i do now?

Hi, I have had excessive sweating from armpits 10 years. At the beginning it was only on left side, and there wasn´t smell. today, it smells offensivly, fole, and is on both side. When I sleep, it stops. But it starts immediately, then I wake up and lasts all the day. It stays linen yellow. Washing don´t eliminate the smell from armpits. I change clothes 5 and more times a day beacuse of wetting and repulsive smell.
