has anyone gotten botox injections to decrease excessive sweating?
my dermatologist told me that it stops sweating for almost a year. has anyone gotten it? does it hurt really bad? does it work?

It shouldn’t hurt to bad, yes it has helped me but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt you.
Because the eccrine glands are innervated by sympathetic nerves that use acetylcholine as the neurotransmitter, BOTOX®™ is effective in temporarily reducing or abolishing sweat production in treated areas. Although hyperhidrosis is generally not considered a cosmetic problem, many patients will present to the cosmetic dermatologist for treatment of this embarrassing disorder
