really very sweaty feet (plantar hyperhidrosis?)

[chizzy22]

My brother came to stay recently and I was shocked to see his feet dripping with sweat - I thought on more than one occassion he'd just got out of the shower. They pour from the ankle down and leave puddles on the laminate flooring. I've Googled his symptoms and still don't understand it and what the treatment is. Have any ABers experienced or know anything about this really bizarre condition? It doesn't bother him but I'm worried. Thanks.

has he tried anhydrol forte or driclor(there the same treatment just made by different companies).They are aluminium chloride solutions in a roll on applicator.basically a very strong anti-perspirant that he can apply to his feet.after using product for a while it actually lessens the problem and he can use the product less. can buy from chemists for about �4.(i work in a chemist in case your wondering)
