Thanks for the update. Based on what you're saying, it can be a combination of a couple of things but if the sweating is localized to mainly your head and you've been experiencing this even before menopause and before hypothyroidism, then it can definitely be primary focal hyperhydrosis. Now, I cannot diagnose you because I am not a doctor, but this is definitely a possibility.
Botox injections, much like they are injected into the face, can be injected into your scalp. Since the scalp is such a broad area, though, if you could pinpoint exactly when on the scalp the sweating is localized to, then you would require less units of botox. If it is the entire scalp, then this would be about 100-200 units and could be done in parts instead of all at once.
You can call around dermatologists or plastic surgeons to determine the cost and how it would be done in your particular situation.
