A topical cloth for sweaty armpits was approved Friday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, giving people an easy remedy for an often anxiety-provoking condition.

The company that produces the drug, Dermira, announced that its medication Qbrexza is the first of its kind to be approved by the FDA to reduce excessive underarm sweating. It was developed to prevent excessive sweat, a common condition that can leave people feeling embarrassed and can hurt their social lives. The drug will be administered in a wipe that can be rubbed over the skin daily to block sweat glands from activating. It will be available in for sale in October.
