Treatment

Anhidrosis that affects a small part of your body usually isn't a problem and doesn't need treatment. But large areas of decreased perspiration can be life-threatening. Treatments may depend on the condition that's causing the anhidrosis. For example, if medications are causing the condition, discontinue taking that drug, if possible. If clogged sweat ducts are causing the condition, cleaning the skin with a gentle exfoliant might help.
