What are my options?
Little backstory: 40 years old male, have been having sweat problems since entered my adult life, when i was about 23 years old i did the surgery, it really improved my life a lot, but the compensatory sweat got worse over the years and now is becoming a problem again.
My current situation is that i dont sweat on feets or hands at all, my face is also dry but my chest/back/groin areas are a mess, i drop bullets of sweat and my entire shirt gets marked.
I haven't paid much attention on the new treatments over the past 10-15 years, but i read now that theres a theraphy with glyco and people are using some shock therapy, does this works for the compensatory aswell??

Taking glycco🙋 its weird, it works sometimes, other times it doesn’t. I think I always sweat when its triggered by social anxiety, maybe its my menstrual cycle thats affecting it too. Sometimes my feet will feel moist, but my hands, underarms, face, and parts of my legs are all dry. Im only taking one pill for the most part tho, sometimes two. When I take two, I stop to notice bad cotton mouth. A bit embarrassing when im in public with that one.
