There are several options that people with hyperhidrosis have found helpful for scalp and neck sweating. Here's a breakdown from least to most intensive:
Topical/Over-the-Counter Options:
- Drysol (prescription-strength liquid antiperspirant applied to the scalp at night, rinsed in the morning)
- Odaban, SweatBlock, or Neat Feat (OTC antiperspirants some find helpful for face and neck)
Prescription Medications:
- Oxybutynin
- Propantheline
- Glycopyrrolate
Results vary from person to person — a MyHyperhidrosisTeam member said Glycopyrrolate capsules finally worked after years of struggling, while another found zero effectiveness with the same medication.
Botox Injections:
- Some members report Botox as the most effective option, with results lasting a few months per treatment. It's worth keeping a journal of your triggers (stress, heat, spicy food, caffeine) to share with your doctor, as this can help them tailor the best treatment plan for you. Always check with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
