Have you ever heard of people getting botox in their arm pits to stop excessive sweating? Does it just plug it up? Does the sweat come out somewhere else?

I saw an ad in the paper this week for just that cure for sweating. It is not a joke, and it appears people are actually having the shots. For more info, here's a site: http://www.botoxseveresweating.com/

It will always come out of your pores:D

Yes, it's rather a new thing to do. It works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter which deactivates nerves that stimulate sweat glands. It works by inactivating the nerves that trigger sweat-gland activity. Botox also may interfere with microbes on the skin making g you smell sweeter:-) It's a series of shots. The injections are painful, but the pain is tolerable. Treatment takes about 30–45 minutes. One treatment of about 12 tiny injections stops or substantially reduces armpit sweating for 2–8 months. After that, a repeat session will be needed. It doesn't work for everyone for some reason.
