I wonder whether you get it while sleeping? By definition' Idiopathic focal sweating' in specific areas are singularly free from excess sweating, during sleep because these relate to mainly emotional type of sweating.
Over-the-counter  antiperspirants contain
metal salts, the most common being aluminum chloride hexahydrate.
Botox is used in refractory cases but I do not know whether FDI recognizes it in perineal hyperhidrosis.
Do consult your physician.
Regards and my good wishes.

What I would want to know is do you get the sweating at night when you are awake or does it occur when you are asleep.
This is relevant to know this to identify the type.ok?

Then it is focal hyperhidrosis suggesting a parasympathetic nerve dysfunction
Severe cases need internal medication like clonidine.Local surgical treatment,botox are other treatments available but are used in difficult cases.
Most cases would find some improvement with external application of aluminum chloride hexahydrate.
Best wishes.

It could be true. And then most antiperspirant sprays incorporate aluminum chloride hexahydrate.
Best wishes.
