Anhydrol forte is another one, you put it on at night before bed, not after a shower.

I found that to be better than Dricolor but I think they're pretty much the same stuff.

Excessive sweating is heriditory and quite common, my old man suffered with it until his late 20's and i've been the same, mainly in my hands and feet. The medical condition is called 'hyperhidrosis' if you want to do a bit more reading up.

I started off with being prescribed anyhydrol forte and told to roll it on my hands and feet but it made naff all difference on them. Was awesome for my underarms though, as said above it really stings as it drys so don't lash it on first night. I found that after using it for a few months I had to apply it less and less regularly and now probably only use it once a month so I reckon my underarm nerves are completely dead

Made no difference to my hands and feet though so a couple of years ago I took the plunge and had surgery. The operation was called a thoroscopic-endosympathectamy (i think) and basically involved cortorising part of the nervous system which controls sweating by inserting a keyhole procedure under each arm. Was in as a day patient but had to take a week off work to recover. To get to the nerve they have to collapse each lung one at a time, they reckon the recovery to be the same as if I'd been in a bad car crash

Anyway to cut a long story short, it worked for about a year, the treatment is supposed to be irreversable but my sweat glands seemed to have respawned so I'm back to square one (maybe not quite as bad as before!)
