Prognosis

Sweaty hands are usually something that develops over the years (more often during puberty) and then does not return. Mostly it is therefore a permanent problem. With the above mentioned treatment methods, however, there are numerous starting points for effective therapy to make life easier for those affected by sweaty hands.

Especially the therapy with botulinum toxin has very good effects. The same applies to tap water iontophoresis. The disadvantage, however, is that these treatments must be repeated again and again.

Which doctor treats sweaty hands?

Anyone who suffers from an excessive tendency to sweat in the hands should consult a doctor as soon as possible if he or she is suffering from this condition, as the symptoms usually do not improve by themselves and household remedies often do not help to bring about sufficient improvement. The first point of contact is the family doctor, who can rule out certain basic diseases (e.g. hyperthyroidism) and can take further measures depending on the patient’s level of suffering. In most cases, a referral to a dermatologist is recommended, as sweaty hands are most likely to fall within the dermatologist’s area of expertise.
