Abstract:
BACKGROUND Facial hyperhidrosis (HH), a common problem with both cosmetic and psychological impact, interferes with quality of life. Wide range of treatment options is available for HH. Finding the most effective and yet a safe, tolerable option is the main target. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of topical 2% glycopyrrolate versus intradermal Botulinum toxin A injection in facial HH treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients with primary facial HH were randomly divided into 2 equal groups: Group A included patients treated by intradermal Botulinum toxin A injection and Group B included patients treated by topical glycopyrrolate gel 2%. Starch iodine test was performed before and after treatment to assess response, along with Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and patient satisfaction. RESULTS Both modalities showed complete response in 75% of cases with a longer duration of action in botulinum toxin group up to 6 months. Side effects were minor and temporary. Both Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale and DLQI showed statistically significant improvement after treatment. CONCLUSION Topical glycopyrrolate 2% showed comparable results to Botulinum toxin A in facial HH treatment with faster onset but shorter duration of action.
