Excessive Sweating Consultations

A confidential clinical consultation for persistent excessive underarm sweating, with suitable options discussed individually.

Clinical Introduction

Excessive sweating can affect comfort, clothing choices, daily activities and confidence. It may occur without an obvious cause, but it can also be associated with medicines or an underlying medical condition. At EQUA Clinic, the process begins with a confidential face-to-face consultation. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, current medicines and how sweating affects your daily life. Where clinically appropriate, treatment may involve a prescription-only medicine used to temporarily reduce the activity responsible for sweating in the treated area. Any prescribing decision is made individually following clinical assessment. Treatment is only considered when it is suitable and further medical investigation is not required.
