Treating Compensatory SweatingCompensatory sweating is somewhat a medical enigma. While individuals may have surgically curtailed their excessive sweating, to their dismay, others regions begin to sweat excessively subsequent to the procedure. Quite often, this newly acquired sweating is often severe. And this is corroborated by most of our respondents in our Hyperhidrosis Surgery survey. And so, individuals are forced to 'go back to the drawing board' so to speak. The newly affected regions include areas of the body such as the chest, back, buttocks, groin, and thighs. Individuals are now faced with the challenge of how to treat these new regions.

Treating with Topical Glycopyrrolate A Spanish study* followed 10 people with compensatory sweating. Glycopyrrolate 2% solution was topically applied on affected regions for 6 weeks. The regions treated include the abdomen, groin, underarms, face, scalp, and chest. Participants rated their degree of response from 0 (no effect) to 10 (total dryness. Four individuals provided a score of 9. The average score for the group was 7.8. Clinical study investigators concluded that glycopyrrolate provides an effective and safe treatment for compensatory hyperhidrosis. Another study** evaluated the use of topical glycopyrrolate (1.5 to 2%) in compensatory gustatory sweating. After 2-3 weeks of treatment, ten of thirteen (77%) of individuals experienced no sweating after eating foods that normally cause excessive sweating. Three or 23% reported significant sweating reduction with only small amount remaining. Each wipe was used for 2 days to treat excessive sweating areas. In the end, 11/13 individuals wanted to continue topical glycopyrrolate treatment after termination of the study.
