We use telemedicine technology to connect you with a U.S. licensed doctor to provide hyperhidrosis treatment conveniently and affordably.
It starts with your online doctor visit. Your doctor needs to know about your general health and how excessive sweating affects you.
They also need an unedited photo of you and your ID (that shows your picture and birthdate) so they know who they will be helping, as well as a photo of the affected area(s) to confirm the diagnosis. They review everything, determine if you're a candidate for telemedicine and whether treatment is right for you, and if so, they will send you a personalized treatment plan.
Their treatment plan will include a great deal of information about hyperhidrosis. It is important that you take the time to read it all to be informed and better prepared to manage your condition.
If you qualify, your doctor will prescribe the right course of treatment to help you take control of your hyperhidrosis.

What causes excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
The central nervous system regulates sweating by sending signals to sweat glands on the skin. People with hyperhidrosis have sweat glands that are usual. The central nervous system, on the other hand, works overtime, from avoiding social interactions to sweating through shirt after shirt. It can have a significant impact on one's social life, job, and general mental well-being.

FAQ

Sweating is controlled by the central nervous system, which sends signals to sweat glands on the skin. Sweating is normal when it happens in response to physical exertion, or if your body senses a threat and goes into “fight or flight” mode. However, the kind of excessive sweating seen in hyperhidrosis is much more than usual, and can be very disruptive to everyday life. The sweat glands are normal in hyperhidrosis, but the signalling from the central nervous system is abnormal. There may be some influence from genetics which is not very well understood.
If a prescription is appropriate, Dapper-affiliated physicians may prescribe 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol), a prescription antiperspirant that works by blocking the sweat glands. Aluminum-containing antiperspirants are recommended for hyperhidrosis by the American Academy of Dermatology.
Not everyone should use Drysol. To learn more about side effects and contraindications, see “What are the side effects of hyperhidrosis treatment” below and read Important Safety Information for aluminum antiperspirant.
Many people don't realize that hyperhidrosis is a treatable condition, so it's okay if you haven't previously seen a doctor or healthcare provider for your excessive sweating before. Your Dapper-affiliated doctor will collect information about your medical history and your excessive sweating symptoms via telemedicine. If hyperhidrosis is diagnosed and treatment is appropriate for you, your doctor will make a recommendation and prescribe the treatment.
Aluminum antiperspirant is considered the standard prescription treatment for hyperhidrosis for people who have tried over-the-counter antiperspirants. If you've been using prescription antiperspirant as directed and aren't satisfied with the results, you can reach out to your Dapper-affiliated doctor at any time to discuss.
