Abstract
A 23-year-old woman presented with a 10 year history of excessive swea
ting (hyperhidrosis), mostly in the axillae, and to a lesser extent th
e groin and hands. Initial treatment with a sedative antihistamine and
topical Driclor (aluminium chloride hexahydrate in 2% alcohol) for 14
weeks resulted in no improvement. Axillary liposuction, a short and s
imple procedure, then produced a very satisfactory result.
