Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month 2018: Here’s What We Achieved

The second annual Hyperhidrosis Awareness Month (HhAM) in November 2018 may be over but the groundwork we’ve laid, with your help, is going to help make a difference for years to come. Check out our HhAM infographic for all the deets. We’re looking forward to continuing to improve hyperhidrosis awareness, education, research, and advocacy during every month of the year to come!

FINALLY: New Hyperhidrosis Treatment FDA-Approved

For the first time since 2004 when Botox® was FDA-approved for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis and 2011 when the miraDry® medical device was FDA-cleared, the regulatory body has sanctioned a new treatment for excessive sweating. Medicine-infused Qbrexza™ “cloths” (from the biopharmaceutical company Dermira, Inc.) deliver an anticholinergic formulation to the sweat glands of the underarms to inhibit sweat production. Find out whether this is a good option for you!

It’s time now to take this report and share it – to demand change in care, awareness, and treatments.
