Abstract | BACKGROUND: PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 20 patients aged 22-38 (mean age: 26.9+/-4.3) with idiopathic axillary hyperhidrosis were included and treated with an antiperspirant (Sweat-off, Sweat-off GmbH, Hügelsheim). Study duration was 42 days. Treatment efficacy was evaluated clinically, as well as by starch- iodine test, gravimetric analysis and evaluation of the skin surface pH. RESULTS:

Except for slight skin irritation in 6 patients, there were no other side effects. Patient satisfaction improved markedly during the study. CONCLUSION:
