How effective is iontophoresis for sweaty feet?

The soles sit in water trays as a mild electrical current moves through the water. This can temporarily reduce sweat-gland activity in the treated skin. Drier feet may make socks and shoes more comfortable and may reduce moisture-related softening of the skin, but iontophoresis does not treat an infection or repair skin that is already cracked. It also does not directly control sweating elsewhere on the body.

Use the device according to the prescribed instructions, with clean, intact skin. Tell your clinician about cuts, eczema, fungal symptoms, reduced sensation, pregnancy, or an implanted electrical device before starting. Do not raise the current to chase faster results. Stop and report painful shocks, marked irritation, or skin damage. Dry feet carefully after washing, change damp socks, and follow any separate advice for treating odour, scaling, or suspected infection.

Arrange prompt assessment for spreading redness, warmth, swelling, pus, severe tenderness, fever, or a wound that is not healing. Seek review if foot sweating begins abruptly, is accompanied by dizziness or palpitations, or follows a medication change. If the soles remain very wet despite an appropriate course, a dermatologist can check for contributing conditions and discuss alternatives or combination care.

Are my soles suitable for iontophoresis today? How should I protect cracks or irritated areas? What maintenance plan fits my routine? Could my damp skin be hiding an infection that needs separate treatment?
