I have a question regarding sweating in a custion liner. We have an adult transfemoral amputee wearing an Iceross Seal-in liner. She has worn a prosthesis for 7 years and the Seal-In for several years. She continues to sweat profusely causing her leg to pull out of the liner. The liner fit is good and she has tried all the over-the-counter perspiration remedies (i.e. CertainDry, Alum...).
 
Can anyone offer suggestions for this patient? Are there any medical remedies or procedures for the excessive perspiration you could suggest?
 
All help is appreciated.
