Liposuction for axillary hyperhidrosis.
A 23-year-old woman presented with a 10 year history of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), mostly in the axillae, and to a lesser extent the 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 simple procedure, then produced a very satisfactory result.
