Traditional treatments look towards shoe spray powder skin roll-on’s frequent change of moisture wicking socks etc. two treatments that are FDA approved is the use of Botox for hyperhidrosis and Mira dry. Botox uses a Neuro inhibitor. Neuromuscular inhibitor by blocking the production and distribution of sweat from the sweat glands . Botox is injected into the soles of the foot. Traditionally I have used a PT nerve block or patients can tolerate the procedure with an apple chloride spray. I use a 30 gauge needle in a 3 mL syringe to deliver the boater the Botox is placed approximately every 1 to 1 1/2 cm apart in a grid like fashion. The Botox is next by five ML‘s in 100 unit file. After injection over the patients will have mild erythema a day can we do an activity immediately it takes an average of 3 to 5 days for the Botox injections to become effective and last approximately three months
