Proposed mechanism of action of tap water iontophoresis for treatment of hyperhidrosis

Tap water iontophoresis is commonly used to treat hyperhidrosis, yet the mechanism of action for this treatment remains unknown. Here, I propose a plausible mechanism of action based on the biology of the eccrine sweat gland, reported patterns in iontophoresis effectiveness, and known dynamics of sm...
